How old do you think the universe is?

My husband has a scientific bent, he has an MS in electrical engineering along with a PhD in International business. This morning he was explaining to me how the universe is 13+ billions of years old.

As a previous dispensationalist, our occasional debates over scientific theory and the bible would sometimes be, well a bit stressful.

Since I have begun to explore new POVs on eschatology, I am just in the learning stage, I have seen preterists state that 1000 years is a figure of speech and not literal.

Is it possible that the 7 days of creation don't equate to a literal 1000 years per day and I can stop debating with my husband and agree that the earth and universe could be as old the scientist seem to believe it is?
