Well, as I said elsewhere, the actual nuts and bolts of creation are not normally on the top ten list of things important to a mainstream Christian. Or other People of the Book, come to that.
How many Jews or Muslims do you hear about who claim the Earth is only 4,000 years old?
The main idea of Christianity is that God wants us to behave in certain ways toward other people, and have a relationship with him. The idea of the incarnation was a radical attempt on God's part to achieve this connection, and teach us about being human.
"Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you. This is the essence of all that is taught in the law and the prophets." Matthew 7:12
As Manuel said in Moon is a Harsh Mistress (paraphrased): "Don't know who's turning crank, am pleased he doesn't stop."
