Hence, distance and red shift are used determine the rate of acceleration, and therefore, the time that has expired since the big bang. If astronomers somehow extrapolated a volume using the same data, that would not alter their result because volume is a but function of distances. The 'singularity' would still be calculated as occurring 13.7 billion years ago. Of course their calculations are checked and double checked and peer reviewed by the international scientific community, so it's very unlikely indeed that their math is faulty.
If you can explain the rationale for your calculation, then I would understand the logic just as I understand the rationale and logic of the science.

The light from the galaxies would converge on earth from where the observation is being made. It will indicate the age of the earth and not the age of the universe.
I have discussed the subject on many threads -

AFTER 5 TIMES FAILURE OF LHC EXPERIMENT I think it is not worthwhile to discuss this topic.
