“Since Adam wasn’t created on the first day, how can man and woman have been in existence.”
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.”
In the early 1800's of Greenleaf, Harvard and Yale were religious colleges. The world has changed a bit since then.
An honest scientist would have to say that there is no evidence for the resurrection. You may make the point that the law could hold that witnesses in the Bible is "evidence". But they would also hold as equivalent evidence ancient writings about Zeus, Apollo, Ra, Thor, and innumerable others.
If you want to accept the resurrection, I can't say you're wrong. But I don't accept any "evidence" in favor of it either. There are far too many ancient writings with supernatural claims and I have no way to judge which are true, and which are false, so the prudent thing is to reject them all.
