I disagree. I think that if the world was obviously 5773 years old the scientists and atheists wouldn’t have what to hang their hat on. Hashem purposely makes Himself hidden and wants man to work to find Him. True and deep Emunah comes through mans investigation and being honest with himself.
There is also the approach that Hashem created the world in a evolutionary way and still the count of 5773 begins from Adam. There’s no problem believing that as well and I think it makes sense to say this. Our sources say that the names Shakai means sheamar leolamo dai. So the universe was expanding at a rapid rate and Hashem shouted ENOUGH and it stopped.
However I think Hashem purposely leaves certain things fuzzy to allow humans who are lazy and want to delude themselves to delude themselves. One can read the firs passuk of bereishis and already be a kofer if he ghinks the passuk means that bereishis created Elokim. There are other places where it says “whoever wants to be mistaken let him come and be mistaken. “
There has to be a balance in the world between being able to have Emunah which takes hard work or no emunah which takes the intellectually lazy track. If Emunah were easy the whole system of schar veonesh would be thrown out of whack.
Once moshiach comes bechira is basically out the window. Umalah haaretz deiah es Hashem kmayim lyam mechasim. There will either be no yetzer hora or it will be so difficult to sin it will be as if there is none. Its a mathematical eauation, the greater the revelation of Hashem the lower the level of bechira.
