"Since" shares a similar meaning with "given that" in this context. They both explain a reason and a result, like "because". Example: "Let's have a picnic, since it's such a sunny day".
"In light of the fact that" is an alternative way of saying "given that". Both these expressions say that "because of" a certain event or situation, another event is the case. Example: "In light of the fact that cars are forbidden in the city centre, a bus service is available".
"Seeing as" is a synonym of "given that". They both describe a cause and result situation, similar to "because". Example: "Seeing as you like the colour blue, I've bought you a blue dress".
"Although" means "despite" or "notwithstanding", and does not share a similar meaning with the expression "given that".
"Despite the fact that" means "although" or "notwithstanding", and does not share a similar meaning with the expression "given that".

In the phrase, "Seeing as this machine was only 9 months old", what is the meaning of "seeing as"?
In the phrase, "Seeing as this machine was only 9 months old", what is the meaning of "seeing as"?
We do not use the term "seeing as" when we are making an estimate. "Seeing as" normally suggests that you are sure about information.
"Seeing as" or "seeing that" is a phrase that generally introduces a dependent clause, and means "considering" or "in view of the fact", or simply "as". Example: SEEING AS none of the students in this class can read, I have decided to postpone teaching them Shakespeare. In her email, Polly is stating that considering how young the machine is, it must be broken because it has been mistreated, not because it is old.
"Apparently" means "as far as I know" or "based on the information I have". It is a lot less certain than "seeing as", which suggests that you are sure of your information.
"It appears that" means "as far as I can see" or "based on the information I have". It is a lot less certain than "seeing as", which suggests that you are sure of your information.
