After I became a Christian, I wasn't really concerned with trying to reconcile evolution with the Bible. But there reached a point when I decided to look into it, and I was pretty surprised to find that the evidence for Darwinian evolution and old earth to be seriously lacking.
I don't think it's a "conspiracy" as such; it's more that a secular, old-earth, Darwinian worldview makes people feel like they don't have to worry about the coming eternal judgement that they will face for their sins after their death. It's definitely a religion of sorts, which is why people get very upset when they face evidence that contradicts their position (undermines their faith in a system which tells them that they can continue to sin without consequences).
Although I don't think it's a super important issue, I decided to research more of it, and now I'm very much a YEC. We find that the great flood explains much more than secular science can in their old earth, Darwinian paradigm.
Of course, the priority should be putting your faith in Christ for your salvation now.

Regarding fossils... Under normal circumstances, creatures like jellyfish would decay rapidly. However, we find many creatures like jellyfish intact, showing that burial was rapid. Furthermore, there are many examples of fossils which show creatures eating, or mating, and even the footprints of the creatures, which show that their deaths were extremely rapid and were caused by a sudden burial under a large volume of sediment.
This requires a catastrophic event; specifically, it requires a global flood, which is capable of moving a large volume of sediment. You'll find fossils together in groups, called "fossil graveyards", showing that they were buried together at the same time, which is more evidence that a catastrophic flooding event is required.
The traditional secular narrative that creatures died and were slowly buried by layers of sediment makes little sense, because dead creatures will either be eaten or decay before they can be fully buried. It also completely fails to explain why we find petrified trees that go through multiple layers of sediment.
And we find soft tissue preserved in dinosaur bones; these are bones which are apparently 68 million years old. It is scientifically impossible for biological material (such as collagen and red blood cells) to be preserved for that long. After initially denying that this was possible, secular scientists are now forced to come up with new explanations as to why biological material was able to survive for this long, rather than admitting that they have been mistaken regarding the age of the bones.
Bro you are a different breed.
Its funny, Ive spent the last 3 days watching all the atheist science content possible, AKA only seeing their perspective destroying "creationists" and they still couldnt convince me. And after researching this just now its hilarious that nobody has even mentioned this issue, I wonder how many others there are out there that are hidden?
This seems like the only channel that actually has unchallenged evidence. Most creationist channels I find just repeat old talking points that get debunked relatively easily, unfortunately, but I wonder now if those are psyops repeating intentionally pointless information just to get debunked and make atheist evolutionism seem more legitimate?
If I can just find some creationist counter points against hominid transitional fossils, I can finally throw science into the past
