I think the problem is that people on both sides of the debate keep looking at the Bible as a world history/geology book. Neither the Old Testament nor the New Testament were written with the sole purpose of being textbooks for a history or geology or physical science classroom.
I would humbly submit that if both sides read the Bible with an understanding that the Bible was written as God's plan of salvation for humans, we could get the creation-vs-evolution debate back on a scholarly track.
