“Can’t- the bible talks about no ‘soul death’ before adam and eve- The only way billions of years could go by is IF God supernaturally kept Adam and Eve alive, and there is no evidence in His word that this was the case”
No. Adam and Eve were created on the last of the six days of creation - thus there need not be billions of years that had gone by even if you believe the days to have been billions of years long for there is no reason to think God rested for billions of years on the seventh day. Also, since Adam and Eve were created whole and entire as adults rather than as infants in the whom and were not afflicted by time with age until they sinned there is no reason to think they could not have lived for billions of years if God so wished. Also, I would shy away from the term “soul death” if I were you for in English it implies the death of a soul - which is logically impossible and against scripture since there is a Heaven and a Hell.
[[No. Adam and Eve were created on the last of the six days of creation]]
Again- God would have had to keep adam and eve alive for a couple billion years or 1000 years (where the bible states 1 day = 1000 years if this is what some claim days t mean in creation)
[[Also, I would shy away from the term “soul death†if I were you]]
There’s no need for me to stay away from it because the bible is clear about what kind of death happened before fall, and it wasn’t soul death- plants which have no soul died before the fall, those with souls did not
The term the bible uses is “nephesh.” it means soul- there was no soul death before the fall
[[Also, since Adam and Eve were created whole and entire as adults rather than as infants in the whom and were not afflicted by time with age until they sinned there is no reason to think they could not have lived for billions of years if God so wished.]]

Yes there is reason to think God didn’t infact keep them alive for billions of years
[[The top Hebrew scholars all agree that the writer of Genesis 1 intended the word day to mean 24 hours. If they all agree . . . then why can’t we?]]
