It leaves humanity too young certainly, I don't think you can take the days of the bible anything other than in a literal sense as it talks about..
God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.
If it was just a long time, why have all the evenings and mornings, to read it any other way is to take information not found in the bible and speculate, and if faith is built on speculation, then why bother with the bible.
We know at what age Adam died so it's easy to work out roughly, but still leaves the earth (as in living things on earth) way way too young. It always amuses me that the certainty of the bible seems to rest much more on what cannot be proven wrong, or on what the bible does not say to make it apply in any reasonable way.
It seems to me the truth of a book inspired by the ultimate being should be judged by what it does say, not what we add or speculate about it outside of the book, and certainly should not have to be adapted as science progresses and makes nonsense of it's claims.
