Are science and Christianity compatible?

I don't think so, Genesis says the world was created in six days and all the animals were created instantly, whereas science says Earth is billions of years old and organisms slowly evolved during billions of years. There never were only two humans, and there has always been death and misery so the perfect sinless happy Eden is a fantasy. Genesis doesn't recognize what the Sun and stars are really like, only calling them light-bearers.

Based on absolutely no observations. It is clear from the Bible that Adam was an adult when he was created. Why couldn't God create a mature earth too?

Our days and Gods days are on a different scale. Genisis is similar to the quran in that they both have 6 days for the creation of the universe and 4 days for the earth, but in the original arabic of the quran it can be translated as epoch. This ratio in time coincides with the actual age of the earth and universe based on radio-isotope decay. One thing to keep in mind with the bible is the language, there is some loss in meaning going with one single translation & lack of dictionaries in those times obfuscates some of the meaning as well. I believe the original Aramaic used a word that could be interpreted as epoch but was simply translated as day. Evolution for every other creature makes sense but i believe in miracles as you do so humans are an exception in my book as well.
