First, does it really matter how old something is? Second, science is not absolute and many times wrong. A lot of science is an educated guess.
Yes it does. know the age helps determine the evolution process. Knowing the age of something allows one to determine where it falls in the time line. Knowing the age of the earth, of the fossils tells us that man did not walk with T-rex. That man and primates have a common ancestor. Science has been right far more than it has been wrong. To say that science is an educated guess says more about your understanding of science than of science it self.
