Believing in Christ has nothing to do with Young Earth Creationism.
You can believe in Christ and still recognize facts and evidence instead having to jump through hoops to believe observably false things. Theistic Evolution is a perfectly fine thing.
YEC is not just false, it is objectively false and offensive.

Can you point to what time in history the world DIDN'T suck for the average human? How is life today more of a sad state of affairs than it was 50 years ago? 100 years ago? 250 years ago? 500 years ago? 1000 years ago? 2000 years ago when Jesus was alive?
If the sad state of affairs in the world today is a result of our collective disobedience to God, then surely there was a time when we were collectively obedient and the world was a happy state of affairs? At least that's what you're suggesting

Exactly. It’s only a “sad state of affairs” because it’s the narrative he chooses.

Copying and pasting scripture doesn't help your case.
It’s not my case you should be worried about. I have no case. My debt has been forgiven. Here’s some more “not help.”
Proverbs 1:27–32 (NASB95): When your dread comes like a storm
And your calamity comes like a whirlwind,
When distress and anguish come upon you.
28 “Then they will call on me, but I will not answer;
They will seek me diligently but they will not find me,
29 Because they hated knowledge
And did not choose the fear of the Lord.
30 “They would not accept my counsel,
They spurned all my reproof.
31 “So they shall eat of the fruit of their own way
And be satiated with their own devices.
32 “For the waywardness of the naive will kill them,
And the complacency of fools will destroy them.
Romans 2:5–6 (NASB95): But because of your stubbornness and unrepentant heart you are storing up wrath for yourself in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God,
6 who will render to each person according to his deeds:
Proverbs 26:11–12 (NASB95): 11 Like a dog that returns to its vomit
Is a fool who repeats his folly.
12 Do you see a man wise in his own eyes?
There is more hope for a fool than for him.
It might as well still be in Greek.

By most objective measures we are currently in the best time in human history to be alive.

It’s Captain Duckhead. I’m an avid duck hunter.
Furthermore, it wouldn’t matter if my name was Mother Theresa- you will respond to the Gospel according to what is in your own heart. And by that you will be judged. Good luck telling God, on Judgment Day, that you refused Him because of me.

I suppose that’s true for an atheist. Also for a communist. Certainly not for a Christian conservative who is raising children in this replica of Sodom and Gomorrah.

I believe it and you can make fun of it if you want, but you cannot disprove it.
I will also tell you some of my other even crazier beliefs about a virgin having a son who walks on water, performs miracles, and even rose from the dead on the 3rd day.

So how exactly would mist from a water canopy extend human life by literally hundreds of years?
I believe the argument is something like Adam and Eve were created perfect, The Fall was a cataclysm affecting everything at an almost the genomic level. Life spans declined. The Flood destroyed the remaining favorable environment etc. Life spans continued downward stabilizing at the proverbial three score and ten. Or something like that.

Doesn’t shielding from radiation (presumably originating from the sun?) preclude a perpetual growing season?

Well, Jesus begs to differ with your first statement; as he quotes directly from Genesis 1:27…
Mark 10:6 (NASB95): “But from the beginning of creation, God made them male and female.
It seems as though Jesus confirmed the authority of Genesis.
Genesis 1:5 (NASB95): God called the light day, and the darkness He called night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day.
The word “day” is used over 400 times in the Bible- and every one of them means a literal, 24hour day.
Genesis 1:25–27 (NASB95): God made the beasts of the earth after their kind, and the cattle after their kind, and everything that creeps on the ground after its kind; and God saw that it was good.
26 ?Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”
27 God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.
Seems straightforward to me. No mention of single celled amoebas “evolving” into every single form of life on the planet.
If anything, the proponents of theistic evolution are the ones jumping through hoops- in an embarrassing attempt to gain the approval of their secular counterparts.

Where in the bible did it talk about the WiFi you're using to post in this thread right now?

How can a "literal, 24hour day" exist when the Sun and Moon weren't created until the 4th day?
