Which is exactly similar to the Big Bang fallacy:

If "Geriatric growth of any (normal) human" corresponds to "expansion of
the universe", then the "conclusion" by the "Tracing time backwards"
argument is that "the universe must have resided in a singularity at
time t=0", which corresponds to "Any human starts out as a singularity
at t=0", which is patently false.
