Those aspects of science will never be explained away, for they are demonstrably true. The error lies in a Genesis timeline presuming short "days". It does no such thing. ("Young-earth" creationists fear that an old-earth view necessarily allows evolution, although it does not.) (Moreover, the first two chapters of Genesis are but two of over twenty chapter-length or longer passages on creation in the Bible, all of which must be integrated consistently.)
The Hebrew word "yom" translated into English as "day" actually has four different literal definitions: a twenty-four hour day, all of the daylight hours, a twelve-hour period, and a long indefinite time period.
The first six "days" all have "evening and morning" bracketing them, but note carefully that the seventh day does not. Indeed, Hebrews 4 explains that God's rest during the seventh day continues even until now.
Not only is the seventh day already many thousands of years long, but also Adam's portion of the sixth day took many months or years. One does not grow lonely in a day.
Although the sun and earth are indeed 4.5 billion years old, and the universe 13.8 billion, what matters most is not when it was created but rather Who created it.
Nice try, but no sale.
