But if the bible isn't accurate, doesn't it pretty much ruin the whole god thing to began with?

Because God would have said that it happened that way.
The math of evolution requires an infinite physical time span. However, science has discovered that the universe had a beginning--so there is not enough time to make evolution even remotely possible.
You're approach is good, but your conclusion is flawed. Since God is infinite, you should have no problem with the concept that the perfection of Creation could happen in a 144 hour period. The Greeks believed that this was accomplished with just a word of command. This was referred to as the "Logos"--ie "The Word".
John 1
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
The seven day creation was God's way of winnowing out the scoffers in the last days.

Are you wheat, or chaff? You cannot stick the two together for long.

Okay, lets assume that the Bible is write and also evolution. The Bible teaches that death did not enter the world until Adam ate the fruit, when man first sinned. But wait. For evolution to occur there would had been lots of dead animals and what not before the first sin. We have an apparent contradiction here.
Of course your premise is that the Bible is wrong, and well, there are all kinds of scientific, archeological finds and what not, that actually support the Bible.
now we have a new question. Where does all of this leave us?

specific, this may be a valid possibility, even even though it has some sever impacts on theology and the claims made approximately God. the main obtrusive of those is why might a god that created people by using physics and evolution lie approximately it in its inspired, inerrant "observe" (the Bible)? actually a god that grow to be clever adequate to create the regulations of physics and to direct evolution might have been waiting to describe what it had performed in a fashion that grow to be incredibly closer to the actuality than what we see in Genesis. At an quite minimum, it would desire to are transforming into the sequence of activities closer to what handed off, i.e. stars, then our sunlight, then the earth, water, sea life (the two plant and animal) then land life. on the different hand, if a god grow to be useful adequate (as in all useful) it does no longer have necessary six days, decrease than thirteen.72 billion years. Then we'd desire to start to handle the question of "unique sin" or why did God create or enable evil. even although, there in basic terms are not any sturdy solutions to this that are consistent with the remainder of the Bible's claims. Even extra desirable, that's not in basic terms creation and Edan it is soundly contradicted by using the info, it relatively is almost each little thing from creation till properly after the dominion of David (that's somewhat shaky) and from then on, the activities might have handed off yet there is not any longer something to point that a god had something to do with it.

I think God created the world to function without him. As humans we effect out genetics by doing things like eating more protein or drinking too much alcohol. Isn't that evolution? Now I don't believe that we evolved from apes but I believe the basic science behind evolution is correct. Remember that science is constantly evolving too. People are always discovering new things and proving old "facts" wrong.

Why do you reference from the Bible? It has no special evidence over any other holy books. Religion first evolved as polytheistic in nature. Isn't it possible that Gods, CREATED evolution? The answer is yes, anything is possible until proven impossible, but to give a thought creedance over any other archetype we could think of it needs some backing behind it.

Sure, why not?
The first few books of the Old Testament are attributed to Moses as the author. If so, he was writing them WAY after the beginning -- it was handed down as oral tradition, but notice how many of the other civilizations had the same type of creation story -- it may very well be true in most of its entirety. But we can only make educated guesses (and scientific and faith ones too) now.

It's it possible that humans created God? That is much more logical. And if God did create evolution, then he is certainly not much of a perfect being, you would have thought he would have had a plan as opposed to this.

Nope. Well, let me qualify that. He did use genetics and the mechanism of evolution to help animals and humans adapt in a sinful world. But he did not create life from the mechanism of evolution.

In Principle yes he/she/they/it/ something/God/ Zeus/ Thor/ Allah/Jahweh could have created Evolution and there would be no way to find out.
In Reality, why would someone go through all that trouble, just to end up with a seriously flawed product in the end.

Your thinking so far outside the bun. Good for you.
You ask about "God" creating evolution, ask now about God as your halfway there.
Who is "God".
What is "God"?
The very nature of reality is far removed from common thoughts found in religion; man tends to think linear, in a straight line with a firm and reinforced belief that reality exist with a past-present and future; yet, man cliams no responsibility for the creation of same;
What if "God" created evolution...or, purhaps, what if evolution was a reinforcing element placed there in order to support our very idea of our linear existence? If a man saw he came from someplace, would that not enforce his very idea's that he "exist in physical form"; sure, why not?
Consider man as creator, having the abilities to manifest a relm, such as Earth for instance, for the complete purpose of creating a stage, a classroom of sorts; consider that upon entry of the stage all is "set" and man begins his lessons of pain, humility, creation and so on; a perfect stage of his making; and from his true relm, the relm beyond this Earthly one, man leaves his true self knoweledge behind upon entreing this stage he has "set", for if man brought this knoweledge of "self" with him, it would make any lesson here completely un-learnable as pain itself would be scoffed at as "un-real" and self made.
Consider yourself more than physical and peek beyond the walls you creat for any limitations you have are yours and created by you; to go beyond this is spiritual evolution.
