So what happened in between? How was the tradition preserved between the time of Adam and the early 19th century?
This is what they refer to as the oral tradition. There were clay tablets that Moses used also. Recorded history goes back at least 1,000 years before Moses. Even there was a law 1,000 before Moses. The oral tradition gets passed down from generation to generation without getting written down. Around 1,000 years ago were some great Kabbalah teachers that people still study today.

But your assertion was that Adam was a creationist--a right-wing Evangelical Protestant. There is nothing in the Kabbalah to support that tradition. You have to explain how it survived between Adam and the early 19th century.

John 8:44b [Satan] was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

But since God also created Satan, then God created both necessary evil and pure evil.

Several reasons, IMO:
  1. They're brought up that way.
  2. To keep their job.
  3. Peer pressure, as you stated (I've seen this happen).
  4. They invest a lot of their money in education that teaches it; and as the Bible says, Where your treasures are, there will your heart be also.
  5. Satan influences it.
  6. Other stuff.
  7. It actually explains reality the best.

In that light, look at it this way:

God didn't create Satan, He created Lucifer.

You got questions, I got answers.
Which account of creation is true, Gen 1 that says animals came before people, or Gen 2 that says Adam came before animals?

Why do we find tens of thousands of annual layers of ice at the poles if the earth is only 6000 years old?
There were no poles.

The earth was one tropical paradise.

That's a common mistake. Chapter 2 is a parenthetical enlargement of specific events which took place in chapter 1.

How were the poles warm without getting direct sunlight from an overhead Sun?

And again, why do we see tens of thousands of annual ice layers at the current poles?

Ah, and could that frame narrative represent billions of years?

So Adam was first, then the animals? That's odd, because we find many animal fossils below the first human fossil.
