yes, BUT you already have the experience, of seeing trees grow
and cutting trees down at various years, and noticing that there
is usually only one ring per year.
we have no such experience cosmologically. we haven't been at
it even as long as the oldest trees we count rings on, let alone as
long as most of these processes allegedly take.

If you have an oak with 300 year rings
you may do a similar back-calculation and show that the oak was an
acorn 300 years ago. You don't have to sit watching the tree grow for
300 years.
