Hi Steve.

Not quite sure where you are getting your age information from, as all except the statement of the biblical calculation is incorrect. The age of the universe and so the age of Hydrogen, is pretty well pinned down.

It is known that the universe is approximately 13,750,000,000 years old, plus or minus 170,000,000 years. Expect that 170 million year uncertainty to continue to become smaller in the coming years.
