Niether of them is science!! Science is repeatable. When you repeat the big bang, then I'll give it some consideration as science. Till then, it isn't. Same goes for creation, but we don't mind admiting it.
You have misunderstood what repeatable means: if it is possible to measure something lots of times in lots of ways and get answers that mesh together then the science of it is repeatable and so corresponds to something which is not just random or imaginary.
Measurements of the age of the universe are repeatable.
I also want to know about 14 foot giants, and also about any ancient human skeletons that show signs of great age.

To give a polite answer to your question, I don't smoke anything.
So...there are lots of skeletons that look just like they are tens or hundreds of thousands of years old, and look just like they came from people who were at most a few decades old when they died. There are no ancient skeletons that look like they came from people who lived to be half a millennium old. Can't you offer anything better than 'maybe, just maybe' or 'I'll let you know if there ever is any evidence'? That does not sound like a repeatable observation to me.
And there's only one article on 14 foot people? Aren't palaeontologists studying them?

The universe may have been created to teach faith in Christ, but it hardly inspires confidence in the biblical account of the earth's history. There are so many things which give such a very good impression of great age. That it should have been unintended - a coincidence - is quite out of the question.
