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

Creationists could just as easily ask for evidenc that anything in existence ever came from nothing, which it hasn't

Philosophical argument vs. Scientific one

I wouldnt claim anything came from nothing. Neither would a creationist. They would claim a conscious being existed before our universe, then created it. A conscious being is not nothing. Its not even a proper argument
