Do you believe that death existed before man was created? If so this leads to a theological issue in that death came before the fall.

Since science is basically a system of acquiring knowledge through observation, and since the scientists who observe are tainted by sin, and since the creation that they observe is tainted by sin...why would we look at it as an authority above the Scripture?

Also, when you speak of all of the evidence that supports your position, i don't think you have mentioned any of that evidence, so it's impossible to know if others would consider it solid evidence or if it could be disproved.
