No, pete, you wrote:

"by all means trust the findings of science above the bible ,.....if you can demonstrate those findings disprove the bible."

That is not an answer to my question. My question was:

"Why should I believe the account of 'creation' that is written in the Bible rather than the reality revealed by modern science?"

And if you must know, I trained as a chemist and worked for more than 40 years in commercial labs. For the last 17 years I was responsible for all testing related to product claims. This entailed having a detailed knowledge of how to design scientific experiments and how to interpret the data. Of course, this had nothing to do with evolutionary biology - which, of course, I have freely admitted. Nevertheless, pete, I suspect that I've had more scientific training and 'hands on' experience of practical science than you have.

I'm also an amateur botanist and, since I retired, I've had the great privilege of working with some of the best field botanists and ecologists in my part of the country. Because of my interest in natural history I have read fairly widely around the subject.

Oh yes and plants are the most important organisms on the planet. The process of photosynthesis ultimately sustains us all. So why did Noah leave them off the ark? And what does the Bible have to say about photosynthesis?
