Because if you accept the scientific fact that the human race could not possibly have populated from a single couple only 6000 years ago (and then done it again after Noah) then you don't have the Tree of Knowledge, and you don't have original sin as described in the Bible. (Or the fun fact that the sons of the only two human beings on the planet went to the next village over to find wives.)
Of course, you could always ascribe original sin to something else. I have heard some weird theories. And sure, humans are naturally flawed creatures.
But then, I don't believe in gods, original sin, or an afterlife. I'm just curious whether you're a literal creationist or not.
No. I'm not a young earth creationist.
