Well, if god didn't exist, there would be a big bang, or some other god would have created the earth.

Actually, all of those have a pretty much equal chance of happening.

Anyways the Bible has a bunch of metaphors, so when it said earth was created in 7 (6?) days some people said it was seven "god days" allowing it to be much more than one million years old
