Because frankly that dating is subject to error upon error.

You're assuming the earth has gone around the sun that many times, and adjusting your description accordingly.
I didn't mention anything about the passage of time in my OP.
Oh, you're thinking of your crazy "embedded age" ideas, which most of us don't accept, so since we are most of us normal people, to say something is that old is to say that much time has passed.
... since we are most of us normal people, to say something is that old is to say that much time has passed.
Of couse, you can easily have age without time when you just make up numbers...
Apparently you missed my formula for determining embedded age.
Physical Age - Exestintial Age = Embedded Age
Take me for instance:
Physical Age: 61 (in a few days)
Existential Age: 61 (in a few days)
Embedded Age: 0
Now take Adam:
Physical Age: 20 or 30
Existential Age: 0
Embedded Age: 20 or 30
Any numbers here look "made up" to you?
Was Adam a normal person?
Was he born, or did he come on the scene as an adult?
When Jesus referred to Adam or Noah at best the references were allegorical.
No. He was as I have told you countless times allegorical at best.

We call made-up numbers "examples."And if any number in a formula is made up, the result is also made up.

It helps one to understand the formula.
Sort of like parables you mean?

-- every "embedded" number is made up.
Why do you think that they had to be real? There is nothing to indicate that they were based upon real events and more than enough reasons to deduce that they were merely teaching tools. And please don't say that God could not lie. The belief in an embedded age is a belief in a God that lies. That is one of the huge problems with such a belief.Are you insinuating that the parables that Jesus told weren't real events He witnessed?
Again, science does not advocate an embedded age. You are making things up.So if I believe God embedded 4.47 billion years of age into the earth, I made that number up?
Or am I agreeing with the conclusion of science?
