Because they are in conflict. There are many evidences for God e.g the cosmological argument.There is no creation/evolution science. There is only science. You don't ask "creation scientists" or "evolution scientists" to peer review your work. You ask biologists, geologists, physicists... whoever works in the actual field that you are also working in. Creationists insist --with absolute certainty-- that a supreme being used magic to wish everything into existence. Not one part of that statement is scientific. The "theory of creation" cannot be tested via the scientific method. They are not submitting work to fellow scientists for peer-review; they're writing deliberately dishonest opinions and asking for a rubber stamp of approval.
Second, the cosmological argument is not evidence for god, it's a flawed attempt to demonstrate that god is necessary. The fact that theists constantly present this argument (and similar ones) shows that they know they cannot demonstrate that god is evident. Otherwise, they'd be showing us the evidence and not trying to wish god into existence via a process of elimination.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
