The scientific problem with Christianity isn't that science proposes an answer to things. It's that it looks at the stories proposed by Christianity and calls "bullshit" because of Occam's razor.
Virgin birth. Resurrection. Parting the seas. Water into wine. And so on. Things that straight up, didn't fucking happen, ever, by any reasonable probabilistic estimation based on what we know about the world today, and those are far more recent than billions of years ago - words in a book are so far outweighed by what we know about the world that we're talking sub .01% chances here. And if you want to start calling them metaphors or helpful fictions, that's fine, but you're departing from any regular version of Christianity.
If the rules of our universe were so flexible that stuff like that could happen with such regularity less than a few thousand years ago, it's overwhelmingly likely that we'd have seen some evidence of gross violations of physical laws today.
When it comes to creation and all that, sure, science is blind, most scientists would agree with you there. But that doesn't mean Christianity has the answers. I'll take ignorance over blind belief in a random story any day, and that's what science has going for it.
