Here is some insight from Answers in Genesis. Answers in Genesis is an apologetics (i.e., Christianity-defending) ministry dedicated to enabling Christians to defend their faith and to proclaim the good news of Jesus the Messiah effectively.
In our series of articles on the biological echo of the Ark’s existence, we’ve seen tremendous scientific confirmation of everything the Bible speaks to on this topic. Evidence from genetics and from Darwin himself argues for the recent origin of species. In addition, comparison of various genetic clocks to one another illuminates the fact of God’s frontloading of the various kinds at creation with the potential for speciation. These facts also simultaneously explain why massive—but limited—speciation can occur on a short timescale. All of these data together lead to testable scientific predictions that put the evolutionary and old-earth creation models to shame.
However, surveys of the professional scientific community in the United States show that the overwhelming majority reject creation and accept evolution—97% or more.1 Why don’t more scientists accept what we’ve proposed?
For many, the answer is ignorance.
For many, the answer is ignorance. In the US public educational system, the courts have effectively forbidden the teaching of what I’ve just outlined. Not surprisingly, since the vast majority of scientists are trained in this public education system, they are completely unaware of the existence of my conclusions.
One thing is for sure…Someday we will know the whole story but not until our God is ready for the reveal.

Good point from Answers In Genesis: “comparison of various genetic clocks to one another illuminates the fact of God’s frontloading of the various kinds at creation with the potential for speciation.”

From your post…”However, surveys of the professional scientific community in the United States show that the overwhelming majority reject creation and accept evolution—97% or more.1 Why don’t more scientists accept what we’ve proposed?”. And the answer is Ignorance? Highly scientifically educated Professionals… and you think they’re Ignorant? The sheer hubris of that statement is astounding. They disagree because of the science, not because of Ignorance. I would bet that neither of us has the “Chops” to get into a back and forth dialogue or discussion on the Science with these Professional Scientists, but i doubt that them “knowing nothing” has anything to do with their disagreement. And calling them ignorant does zero to understand their issues with YEC. – Barabbas

Ignorance is an issue. As Jesus said, “You know neither the scripture or the power of God”
Here is more on whether scientists agree on evolution or not.

Most importantly, God created Adam and Eve. They did not evolve. That is what Jesus taught us.
Shalom!
