Age of the Earth: I'll come back to you on that after I gather my sources
(PM me if I don't come back to this thread for like a week). There is also something about the gap theory having to do with the Genesis 1:1-2. Just google gap theory if you want to know more. I don't know if I agree with all of it though.
The Big Bang: THEORY
Plate Tectonics: What does the bible say against plate tectonics?
Humans being part of the animal kingdom: Classification systems change over the course of time. They didn't use our exact scientific definition for animal back then.
The bible: MYTH
god: MYTH
The age of the Earth is around 4 billion years old. Plate Tectonics requires millions of years to operate. Some Christians believe that the Earth is only 6,000 years old. That is too short of a time for what we see in Plate Tectonics.
When dealing with scientific truth, I would rather rely on a Theory then a Myth.

First off, both of the following have NOT been proved:
Theory of Evolution
Big Bang Theory

The Bible is quite historical. It contains accounts that were backed up by other historical books of the time. If you don't believe the events in the bible were true, you might as well not think that Plato ever existed. The historical evidence of the existance of many historic characters is much less than that of the bible.
Also, what do you mean by plate tectonics requiring millions of years to operate? They are constantly operating. Forgive me for any misunderstanding but I just don't see your point.
And BTW I promise I will have some info on the age of the earth ASAP. However, I'm not an expert in the matter. There's someone I know who basically is, and it may take a while for me to contact him.

The bible is a mix of fiction and fact, but the facts are distorted in myth. So, the statement that "The Bible is quite historical" is misleading. The bible must be taken in context of the people how wrote it. To compare the bible to a history book is to miss the point of the bible.
For South America to Separate from Africa, it took millions of years.

Christians killed all the non-believers, Muslims killed the non-believers.
Christians moved west to escape the strict rules, Muslims moved west to escape the strict rules.
Christians have Catholic vs. Protestant, Muslims have Sunny vs. Shyite.
Bible says crazy things against science, Qu'ran says crazy things against science.
So why are you fighting when your religion is roughly the same thing?
Wow, someone has a bit of reading to do.
I hate organized religion as much as the next agnostic, but read up on your facts before you post. You're giving us a horrible name.
