What's really important, and this has already been said a number of times in this thread, is that our interpretation of the evolutionary history of life on this planet will change as new evidence is discovered.
This thread has helped to bring out the confusion between ToE, and the history of life. And it is the history of life that mainly upsets creationists. I think they could actually accept ToE, as long as they could claim that there was additionally a special creation event -- they have, after all, coopted ToE to try to explain away the problems of the flood story. However, the documented history of life clearly contradicts their dearly held beliefs.

Denying reality?
I don't think anyone can say with any semblance of veracity that these ages took place or what events took place during the timeframes. These are assumptions based on the manmade concept of classification and how what organism followed in a sequence of evolutionary events.
Put on blindfolds. Wear earplugs. Stop eating.
​
All of the evidence of our senses depends on classification. If you deny classification, you deny everything, including your own existence.
