The Bible has NEVER BEEN PROVED INACCURATE.

That depends on your standard of proof. For example, the lifespans of the patriarchs in Genesis far exceed our experience of the normal span of human life. We have not a single documented example of a human living even 150 years; is that not pretty strong evidence Methuselah did not live 900? If you met a man tomorrow who claimed he was 900 years old, would you not be skeptical, for precisely this reason?

The point of the creation story isn't an exact reasoning of just how long it took but to give credit where credit is due.

A large number of people believe evolution was the means by which God accomplished his creation. They are surely giving credit where credit is due, no?

I just noticed this reply...

I won't debate His methods... He uses nature very often to accomplish His purpose (there are those that think the Israelites' crossing of the Red Sea was simply good geological timing). Evolution proving true doesn't disprove God's plan. However, I will say the "science" of evolution is VERY full of holes.
