The order of creation was told in the Bible thousands of years before science confirmed it.

You need to either read your bible or take some science classes. The bible says the earth was created before the stars, this could not be further from how it really happened.

Even if your assertion was not completely false, it was still an after the fact prediction. Science received no help from religion in determining the order of events during the creation of the universe (thankfully, since the bible is wrong).

For 1500 years, every theologian was sure the bible told us the universe is 5-6000 years old. Now that science has showed us the truth of the matter, suddenly we see theologians trying to show how the bible actually says the earth billions of years old. They had 1500 years to tell us how old the earth really is, but only an after the fact prediction finally shows us... right.

The Bible doesn't say how old the Earth is. That was a miscalculation by Bishop Ussher.
