How old in the universe and how do we know?

[who cares]

Is it possible that the formation of the universe could have created an event horizon, causing the age of celestial bodies furthest from the center to be billions of years older than bodies at it's center, even though they were created at the same time?

I have heard that the universe has no center and no edge, but I don't know why this assumption is made. Why is it?

Do we even know for sure that the universe has no center and no edge? If so, How do we know? and from which point is it expanding if it has no center?

How can we determine the age of the universe based on distance for stars that we see light from, when time is not a constant and changes relative to gravity and motion?

Confused. Please explain.
I see what you are saying velto. But why would we see changes in the stars (via the very old light)? They would not have existed to be changing, and I don't think God made up a story to go with each star and put it in it's starlight. That seems to be....dishonest. Not an attribute of God. I am more confused about the time thing. How we measure age in light of the crazy intense gravitational forces and motion that would have had to be in play at the beginnings of the universe.

God has the power to make things look old. Don't you think, if they can do it at Disney World, then God could have done it, in the real world. For all we know, He aged the planets, before their time. God made the rules of 'time', and He doesn't even have to abide by His own rule. If that isn't an awesome thought, I don't know what is! He lives outside of His rules of law, gravity, time, light, because He created them and set them in motion. Consider the passage in Genesis, where the fruit was made, already on the tree, when God created it.
