Yes, the Script Writers deviated from the Storyline.
This was more like the Time Paradox created by Planet of the Apes 1968.
Considering that in Days they traveled past Alpha Centauri to get to Earth's Solar System, implies that they are traveling FTL (Faster Than Light). That just like the Planet of the Apes 1968 Icarus going FTL plus the Earth exploding sent the Icarus even faster propelling the Icarus into a Distant Future.
There was another Science Fiction Series of Books I read, that after Humankind had expanded out beyond even Alpha Centauri, many Empires rose and fell, eventually the exact location of Earth was lost and became a Myth, Legend, Fairy Tale. This was done on purpose as the Earth's name was changed many times to prevent Rediscovery by Explorers, Earth had become Agricultural with no apparent High Technology visible while all the Colonies were High Technology Only, including creating Dyson Spheres. This was all a disguise as the "Scientists" on Earth had created a New Science, and were directing from Earth the Course of Humankind without anybody's knowledge (knowing they were being guided would mean the guidance would be hated and rejected). Only at the last Book of that Series do you realize the location of Earth. Just like the original Philip K. Dick Story, they find evidence that indeed they had landed on Earth.
Being Three Hundred Years Old and then being 20 years Old all that knowledge doesn't go to waste.
This brings up the little known "Genetic Memory" situation.
If you like the bang bang shoot em up of Star Wars, this is not for you.
