The Urantia Book tells us that the events triggering the formation of the solar system occurred 4.5 billion years ago. During the early 1950’s, and based on the work of Edwin Hubble, the generally accepted age of the universe was just 2 billion years. Then Baade’s work at Mt. Wilson revealed an error in Hubble’s methodology effectively doubling the age of the universe, and causing great hilarity in the American press at that time. Most astronomers now put the age of the universe at about 15-18 billion years (this idea may change drastically with the apparent collapse of the Big Bang theory). Radio-isotope dating of meteoric material now puts the age of the solar system at about 4.55 billion years, which is virtually the same age as told by The Urantia Book.
