Not responsive. Note context!
One would have to understand the principles of prayer before attempting to study it. Your study does not observe those. Any poorly designed study gives contaminated results!
So, you are a YEC? Cool.
Simple -- Adam would be YEC Adam; then you guys would be moaning that the earth has to be YEC as well, and there goes the neighborhood.
I'm not sure why it bothers you guys that I agree with you about the age of the earth, but I assume it's because you guys want me to be as different from your philosophy as night is from day -- so different, in fact, that the physical age of the earth cannot fit into a Biblical paradigm; thus we would have to totally reject the Bible (viz., Genesis 1) in favor of mother nature.
In any event, it's your problem -- not mine.
In short, I think it bugs you guys that I agree that the earth is 4.57 billion years old.
I wasn't aware YECs believe the earth is 4.57 billion years old.So, you are a YEC? Cool.

What does 4.57 billion years look like, as opposed to 5 billion?You don't either. You just think it looks 4.57 billion years old.
I agree.It's not what it looks like, but what it is.
But an object that is a year old, but created 1 second ago, is a year old.An object that is a day old but appears to be a year old isn't a year old. it is a day old.
Embedded Age does not 'accomplish' anything -- it is simply a state of existence, having maturity without a history.Your embedded age idea is ridiculous, even if only for the fact that there is nothing that embedded age cannot accomplish that can also be accomplished by God actually creating the world four billion years ago.
Fine, I'll say it in yours then: Die Erde ist 4,570,000,000 Jahre alt, hat aber nur in Existenz für 6000 gewesen.What "bugs" us is your abuse of the english language.

Why not just speak clearly, raze? You mean to say that God didn't answer the prayers BECAUSE he knew the power of prayer was being tested? Is that it?
If age was not "embeded", why would it not function right? Lets say, for example, that God created a mature Adam from dirt and didn't embed any age into him. What would be the result and why?
I don´t know what "1 year old" could possibly mean, other than "has existed for 1 year".But an object that is a year old, but created 1 second ago, is a year old.
Huh? What are you talking about?
One can study the effects of something without understanding the processes by which that thing works. For example, a person can study the effects of radiation without understanding what causes radiation.
Don't you think it's coincidental that I happen to 'think it looks like' it is the same age as you Internet scientists do?
