No, posts don’t have to go through a delay. Maybe you need to refresh.

Christians didn’t doubt the Bible’s explicit rendering of creation until evolution gained a foothold. Christians started doing scriptural gymnastics to make it fit. So, what caused death and suffering?

No scriptural gymnastics are needed.

Genesis starts with the creation of the heavens and the earth in Genesis 1:1.
The earth was already there when Genesis 1:2 stated what was accomplished during the first "day" followed by the rest of the verses in Genesis chapter 1.

So how do you explain Genesis 2:4, which says all of creation was done in a day (the day that God made earth and heaven.) Which explicit rendering do you wish to take literally?

As for death and suffering, they came about because Adam was disobedient and did the opposite of what God told him to do. He sinned, and the wages of sin is death. It happened just as God had warned him.
