Jesus taught a literal creation in which man and woman were creaded as such “from the beginning”.

Since Adam wasn't created on the first day, how can man and woman have been in existence "from the beginning"? Your argument is subject to the "how long is a day" problem.

“Science” would reject the posibility of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ outright.

"Science" would say there is no evidence of the resurrection. Which is the same thing that "Law" would say. If you reject "science" for that reason, then will you reject "law" as well?

Most people understand “from the beginning” is referring to the six days of creation.

I’ll direct yo to the words of Jesus. You can argue with Him.

Mark 10:6 “But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.”

“Which is the same thing that “Law” would say. If you reject “science” for that reason, then will you reject “law” as well?”

Really?

If you are currently uncertain what to believe about the resurrection, or if you are open to that which would further inform your opinion, you should know about Simon Greenleaf.

Simon Greenleaf was born in 1783. As a young man he prepared for a career in law under the tutelage of Ezekiel Whitman, once a chief justice of Maine. He practiced law here in Maine. He was appointed reporter of Maine’s supreme court when it was established in 1820. His own legal reputation and practice grew until he became, quite possibly, the foremost legal figure in the state at that time.

When he was 50, Greenleaf accepted an offer to become Royal professor of law at Harvard University’s Law School, a distinguished post that he held for 13 years.

Greenleaf was granted Doctor of Law degrees by Harvard, Amherst and the University of Alabama. He wrote a highly respected text and numerous papers, played a role in the formation of Liberia’s original constitution, and on at least one occasion appeared as chief counsel before the U.S. Supreme Court.

A chief justice of the U.S. Supreme Court once referred to Dr. Greenleaf as “the greatest authority on legal evidence that ever lived.”

At one point in his career, Simon Greenleaf mounted an intensive examination into evidence from the Gospel accounts for the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The result of his work was a published piece entitled “The Testimony of the Evangelists Examined by the Rules of Evidence Administered in Courts of Justice.”

Greenleaf concluded that in any unbiased courtroom in the world, if such evidence were presented, it would be adjudged as absolute historical fact.”
