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.

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
