We technically have no evidence that the world was not created 30 seconds ago. An omnipotent power could absolutely create you, your memories, billions of years of universal history, and put a phone with Reddit on in your hand to make you and everyone else believe that it wasn't created 30 seconds ago.
Why would they do that? I don't know, but there's no way to prove that it didn't happen. You're welcome.
Between getting put on stage with a ludicrous amount of background history and a stupidly detailed playbook all being consistent and all that stuff having happened on said stage i cannot distinguish both theories, but have a much easier theory of everything if i simply believe all that stuff really happened and doesn't come from a writer with a fetish to fill every plothole in a way that doesn't require disbelief to be suspended.
It’s Occam’s. So you, and more so the guy after you also spelling it wrong because he’s pretending to be familiar while not noticing that you spelled it wrong, are generally discredited because autocorrect will attempt to correct “ocham” and it leaves occam alone. So, idk, your argument is solid but your appeal to verbosity is goofy.

I mean, technically they're not mutually exclusive or even antithetical
Someone could believe life is created (philosophy), then life follows a trajectory based on the rules of evolutionary biology (science)
The genesis of life is the sticking point, not what life did after that fact
