Click here (GIRA) to witness one organization's efforts to reconcile one Biblical story's account of creation with the Earth's ancient geological fossil record...
What are your thoughts/opinions (respectfully stated) about appealing to the Bible for such endeavors? Can 'the gap' indeed be 'bridged'? Should it be? Why/why not?

I'm not sure what you mean exactly by "the gap"... But I'll answer with what I think you mean.
Science is a self-correcting process where the truth of nature can be found by rigorous study. It answers questions with the hardest of empirical evidence.
Religion, however, answers questions with a simple "God did it" and thus relieving us of any actual experimentation.
There is no gap between science and religion; they are so widely apart on the spectrum it's ludicrous to try to reconcile your religious beliefs with scientific evidence. That's not truth-finding, that's picking evidence to fit your story, as in the Biblical account of Genesis that is showed in this article. Science has no story to pick evidence for, but rather, with the evidence, we make the story.
My two cents.

The charts are very interesting. I feel that a lot of people try to look for connections and try to compare science and the bible. This has been done in so many ways with no concrete answer in the end. If it is possible one day i think 'the gap' should be 'bridged' but until then, there are no right and wrong assumptions.
