So.
No actual science, then?
As for the reasons;
1: Accepting one mans calculation of the age of the world, based on his understanding of the geneologies in Genesis, makes sense, while rejecting the work of many men to calculate the age of the universe, and of the Earth, based on, you know, the universe and the age of the Earth, doesn''t.
That makes sense.
2: You mean it had just the right number of tempting serpents and fallible humans? Incidentally, how does being set up by the creator and current owner of everything make the world "good" and us "bad"?
3: Yes, that also makes sense. All the animals in the world only die if humans eat the wrong fruit.
Hang on, that makes no sense at all.
Why is my cat being punished for something that a distant ancestor, of mine, did? Why am I being punished for it? I didn't eat the fruit, and "Good" though God may have thought the world might have been, even I could have given him pointers on tree security. "How about a fence?" I'd have said...
4: Jesus, even if he existed, and even if he was who he is claimed to be, was communicating with humans. Humans that believed in the flood. Who believed in creation. What was he supposed to do, start out with a class on evolutionary biology, and another on geology, before telling them that, maybe, not killing each other would be a good idea? He came to save mankind and give them a good grounding on the physical sciences?
I don't recall that part of the Bible..
