[Fundies have been discussing "evidence" for Creation.]
It really is simple logic......one of two things.
1- humans and animals began as babies. Obviously, this couldn't have happened. Babies, of any species, need an "adult" to survive. Option 1 is down the drain.
2- humans and animals were created as adults. Hence, Adam and Eve.
There is no logical way of getting around it. #2 is the ONLY option and points directly to there being a Creator. That being God, the Father.

Skipping over the junk in 1 & 2, how about the logic of the end, why is the Creator you erroneously deem to be necessary your god Yahweh?
Why not Ymir, or Aboriginal Totemic spirits, or Gaia, or any other number of beings said to create everything?
"That being God, the Father."
No, it was Allah, the god.
I personally prefer the story about how Odin formed Ask and Embla, from two tree trunks that had washed up ashore, after he had finished creating the cosmos from Ymir's body.
As for your first and second point, instead of the bible, read something that's actually based on science for once.
Ah, an argumental variation on a (now) old paradox: Which came first: the Chicken or the Egg?
Well, just as Birds evolved from Reptiles (the vestigial remnants of their reptilian ancestry: the scaly legs' also certain aspects of their skeletal structure), and Reptiles existed before Birds - and they lasy eggs - therefore it was the Egg that came first, there were adult Common Ancestors.
Simple. Logic . [/Capt. James T. Kirk]
In Soviet Big Bang-formed space-time continuum, Creation is superior to Creator.
It's as though a group of special people have taken it upon themselves to absorb all the stupid of the world.
I suddenly feel very comforted that it's not just me who is heading down a one-way street towards infirmity and possible senility (some may claim I'm already there on that one). How very gracious of them to suck up all the world's stupidity so we don't have to.
I think it's particularly brave of people who are already so incredibly stupid to voluntarily take on even more.
The question remains, can they they just hang on a while longer and absorb a wee bit more silly before the great day arrives er...soon?
I guess we'll never know.
1. Which is precisely why amphibians, fish, and reptiles are known for being such nurturing caregivers for their young.
2. Humans are animals; not plants, not fungi, animals. The processes which lead to our existence, all have sufficient natural explanations, therefore no creator needed.
So, what the OP says is that, back in March of 1975, I popped out of my mom's V-Zone a fully formed, 5'0'' obese woman.
sorry but baby bacteria do quite well without mom. oh wait , maybe they just divide and make two adults ? maybe baby turtles is better ?
anyway #1 is just wrong.
#2 citation needed , and no not the Bible.

"Actually, Anon-e-moose, the chicken came first."
*BZZZT!*
Sorry, that's incorrect. The egg came first. Nowhere in the timeless question is it specified that the egg in question is a chicken-egg , and chickens were hardly the first egg-laying animals.
*clucks his tongue and winks* Gotcha.
A person with a bias for their preferred creation fable presents a falsely dichotomous scenario out of ignorance of biology that is essentially a re-hash of the "the chicken or the egg" dilemma and concludes on the basis of the human life cycle that the chicken is the correct choice. Having done so, they claim their preferred creation fable is true while ignoring all others from around the world.
After all is said I'm supposed to be convinced to ignore science and side with doctrinal superstition and these people are surprised when I'm not?

A chicken and an egg are in bed, enjoying a post-coital cigarette.
The egg says '...I guess that answers that question! '

"Obviously, this couldn't have happened."
Poe. They used the right word there when so many normal people get it wrong.
Your logic fails on one thing, why doesn't God create adults all the time?, what's the need of babies, anyway?. It's like saying that there must be rain first and then the clouds.
Confused?
