Great job in summarizing those points.
I lean toward cyclic cosmology. While I think there was indeed a pretty big bang, it was not the start of all, just the start of the universe's current cycle. From that perspective, the universe is ageless, and time is immaterial.
Time is an interested concept. I doubt we humans have the capacity for thought required to understand the fullness of the concept of time and how it relates to the universe. If there is a God (I lean toward not), time is likely not an issue for such a being.
The earth is very old, and the universe is much, much older. A young earth, or even not-real-old-earth, simply doesnt fit the overwhelming observable evidence.
One could easily say that an all-powerful supernatural being could make the effort to create an old appearing universe but to what end and why?
