I don't reject the idea outright; but I do take exception to the word "evidence" being attched to the idea.

The laws of physics unfolding into the universe as we know it, described as an act of creation by a deity, is more a matter of semantics. If you define the deity to mean the sum total of the universe, and the laws of the universe simply an expression of said deity, then you have metaphorically reconciled science and crationism...but in a way that is not subject to be verified by evidence, nor would it be appropriate to attempt to do so.
