No, no. The age of the universe isn't infinite YET, but the evidence shows that it's approaching that. As time goes on, the age of the universe increases faster than the rate of time passing, thus showing that the begining of the universe is *receding* from us at a furious ever-increasing rate.
FTFA:
Since these results are, at present, based entirely on data from the past, this age increase must be happening in the past. Therefore that point in time representing the birth of the universe, the "Big Bang", may be moving backward in time at an ever-increasing rate.
The rapidly rising trend of the age curve (Fig. 1) strongly suggests that at some finite time in the future the universe's calculated age will be infinite.
