Try to find a library which has copies of the series of booklets “The Fundamentals”, published during the second decade of the 20th century.
A number of the essays commented about science and its relation to religion.
Some of these were not entirely happy with evolution, but not a single one raised any concerns about the age of the earth and universe as discovered by science.
Nor were evangelical theologians worried about it.
The only dissenters were Seventh-day Adventists, and it was only after Henry M. Morris read an SDA book that he wrote (with John Whitcomb)
“The Genesis Flood” (1961) which started off the modern creationist movement.
Modern creationists are as ignorant of the history of Christianity’s dealings with science as they are of scientific matters.
