This is only an "either-or" issue for folks whose indoctrination or intellectual equipment renders them incapable of comprehending relativistic time.
Without tethering one's (mis)interpretation of Genesis to the fallacious concept that "God's yom (MUST!!) = one revolution of this (created) planet", Divine creation makes perfect sense -- Scripturally and scientifically.
No condemnation of scientific study is needed...
Nor is denial of the fact that our Creator -- in His own good time -- caused all to things to be, and to develop according to His plan, and under His control.
I never cease to be amazed at how many otherwise faithful folks insist on "downsizing" the full majesty of our God and His Creation in order to cram them into their miniscule mindspace... :-(
