Stop trying to point out contradictions in religion!
Just stop.
This is a Science, Math, and Philosophy forum. Religion has no literal relation to any of the three. And also, pointing out that the Earth seems to be much older than the Bible says, or pointing out that it makes no sense to pray to a perfect God is not going to convince any theists to abandon their metaphysical beliefs. That is all.

I agree. But the subject is homeless and will remain so.

Religion is a subset of Philosophy at the very least.
