How do you explain that?

The good thing about science is that it is always looking for new information to test against existing theories and will update findings if necessary.
Contrast that with religion.
Now, on to the good part, do you have links to the scientific fact(s) that some stars are somehow older than the universe?

@dearyme Buried deep in there are a couple of quotes:
[quote]“Astronomers now know it contains very little iron — which means it must have been formed before this element became common in the universe.
“And that implies HD 140283 must be almost as old as the universe itself.”[/quote]
And then the article goes further on to describe how scientists calculated the age of the universe based on observable expansion and how improved measurements may show the original estimated age to be incorrect.
I'm not ready to claim science is false based on this.
