Yes, I am tired of people who take a minor detail - adding the genealogies in Genesis and extrapolating the age of the earth - and somehow this is a salvation issue. You know most of them would mock any reference to the Church Fathers.

Do you believe that sin preceded death, as the Scriptures teach? Or that humanity developed out of cycles of life and death, as evolution teaches? It’s kinda significant.

The age of the earth is not a salvation issue, in that we are agreed. However, if you doubt Genesis, how can you believe Jesus, the man, created all things? Or that he rose from the dead after 3 days?

Which other parts of the scripture do you think are "minor detail". Are you suggesting that the genealogies written should be ignored as irrelevant or incorrect? If you ever added them up yourself, and read the scripture exogetically, not eisogetically, you would come to the same conclusion re the age of the earth. You may then dismiss that conclusion based on "science so called". Perhaps you dismiss 1 Timothy 6:19-21 as a minor detail, and no warning at all?
