It's inherently paradoxical for a true scientist to be a creationist.

I think you mean "young earth" creationists. God could have created the universe through the Big Bang and man through evolution. That's not inconsistent with Genesis, unless you take the literal "day" thing seriously.

You're quite right. A god *could* have created the universe through the big bang and evolution. However for science to accept his existence, there would have to be some observable phenomenal evidence of his existence that could be falsified.

That's why people have so much fun torturing crevos with "spaghetti monsters" and the like.
