Happy Belated Birthday

The Universe recently had a birthday, according to the Ussher Chronology.

Ussher deduced that the first day of creation began at nightfall preceding Sunday October 23, 4004 BC, in the proleptic Julian calendar, near the autumnal equinox.

This date is controversial, however. There's also the Lightfoot chronology:

Lightfoot similarly deduced that Creation began at nightfall near the autumnal equinox, but in the year 3929 BC.

We won't know for sure until we get to Heaven.
