It is all about mistaking the Bible for an encyclopedia. It never was that, and cannot be taken as that. It was written by men as Inspiration by God not dictation from Him. So it is built on the awareness of the men who wrote it, formed by the culture they were in.
Even in 300AD they held a convention and organized some bits and tossed away others that did not fit their "Inspiration" or as a cynic might say "Agenda". Ever since some things have been accentuated and others slid past, and there have been several rewritings as well, each with a slightly different focus.
One good explanation I have seen is that the Holy Spirit is still active and informs each individual according to their ability to imagine the deeper truth, and science is a path to that, clearing out mistakes of supposition.
After all if your understanding differs markedly from readily observable reality, since that Reality is a part of The Original Work how can one say that it is Reality and not their understanding that is wrong.
There is however a group of men who have a totalitarian, secular agenda in opposition to almost everything Jesus said, and that truly hate both democracy and Freedom and would use Creationism (and other scams) to destroy America.
They laid out their plans in an internal document that was leaked.

Wedge document - This is one place it still can be found, there has since bee a fake document put out to discredit this original.
Their agenda called for a Nova Science program within five years that would support Creationism. Nova was not amused, and did this.http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/id/program.html

all of them are basically nonsense. Any explanation outside of the facts is a pointless waste of time and energy.
