No scientific method can prove the age of the earth and the universe, and that includes the ones we have listed here.
No book can prove the age of the earth, and that includes the Bible.
The assumptions behind the evidences presented here cannot be proved,
What? Impossible!
1.DNA in ‘ancient’ fossils. DNA extracted from bacteria that are supposed to be 425 million years old brings into question that age, because DNA could not last more than thousands of years.
Why can't DNA last more than thousands of years?
2.Lazarus bacteria—bacteria revived from salt inclusions supposedly 250 million years old, suggest the salt is not millions of years old. See also Salty saga.
Why does it suggest that?
3.The decay in the human genome due to multiple slightly deleterious mutations each generation is consistent with an origin several thousand years ago.
Decay in the genome? Multiple deleterious mutations per generation? Lots of unproven assumptions here.
I’ll make this simple for you.
Your original question - Why am I not OK with a patient God.
I am OK with a patient God, but not w/ a God who lies to me.
