Time as an Absolute

Time as an absolute: On the face of it, you know this notion won't hold up to any real scrutiny.

Time and space are part of the same continuum. We know from the physics of general relativity that space can be warped and therefore time along with it.

If we say that the universe is 14,000,000,000 years old, then what amount of credibility can such a statement muster? Not much. Maybe about as much as I've been working on the railroad all the live long day.
