Word and Deed Together Always?

Over and over we are learning that God always reveals in both "Word" and "Deed" and that any view of revelation that omits one of these aspects is seriously wrong. The connection of these two aspects is becoming more and more a central issue to every theological realm. I would like to take the time to develop this more, but at least I thought I'd get my cards out on the table concerning these as revelational norms and the discussion of the creation views.

It is my contention that if our creation view is to accommodate a history in which God's "Word" is not temporally tied to his act, so that many years can pass between the two, we may gain the applause of modern science and make room for all kinds of anthropocentric speculation, but we will not be consistent with our theology elsewhere. Our theology that is founded upon the bond between the two great aspects of revelation... Word and Deed!

This kind of split is not forced by the bookbinders but allowed. So the question then becomes why allow such an understanding without qualifing the necessity of the bond between word and deed? I suppose the obvious answer is that will take us very nearly, if not totally, back to a literal understanding of the time frames where word and deed are bound together - and amazingly are bound together in language that we (God's covenant people) understand... evening, morning and day.
