Considering evolutionary biology has been the single biggest adversary of deism and theism, you should take some level of satisfaction in knowing that the source of that theory has been soundly debunked. How you reconcile your faith in a creator and a savior with your personal inclinations on timelines and evolution is up to you.
To me, the importance and legitimacy of the bible doesn't lie at the feet of whether the details or timelines are totally accurate, its the story in is totality. It doesnt matter to me if the bible says the great flood happened 5000 years ago when modern science says it happened 12,000 years ago, or if it flooded the whole world or just the region where the story takes place, what's inportant is that it happened. I could care less that science says the brontosaurus lived 65 million years ago or that the book of Job places its existence at 5,000 AD, what matters is that they arent contradictory in its existence. Science says that all people are the descendants of 1 man and 1 woman, as the bible does. Doesn't matter if the bible places them in mesopotamia and science places them in Africa, they corroborate one another in the most important way.
The bible says first the universe was formed, then earth, then water, then land, then animals, then people. Science says the same thing. Seems like there is quite a bit of common ground there.
