Thank you for correcting your statement to say _stellar_ evolution. Evolution and stellar evolution are different areas of scientific research.
I didn't correct my statement. I just specified what type of evolution I was referring to. Stellar evolution is a kind of evolution. Certainly you don't need me to explain that.
The scientific discipline of "evolution" refers to biological evolution, not a superset of stellar evolution. What's next? Claiming abiogenesis is a subset of biological evolution?

All I'm saying is that The Universe is Precisely 13.75 Billion Years Old. The age determined by precise measurements. What I mean by it not being an estimate, it's that it's not "an approximate calculation". It's a very precise calculation.
Of course 13.75 billion years is an approximate calculation. Adding 10 more digits of accuracy would still be an approximation.
Unilaterally changing science terminology is considered bad form.

Morny,
There are many different types of evolution. That's why I specified when you commented.

If you have nothing to add to the op, please stay out of the topic. Arguing semantics with me has no bearing on the topic.
