Nah. A person can believe that god was the one what did the banging, or that god was what happened nine months after said banging -and- has since been sticking it's gummy fingers in all the biology.
...as just a couple of examples of how those two beliefs can fit in a larger constellation of beliefs. Judging from the quote, it's a combination of the two. What would be interesting, is which one of those planks is more important. Which one do you burn to save the other, if need be? Are we okay with a god that didn't create the universe but did specially create™ us? Or would we prefer a god that created the universe even if it didn't specially create™ us.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
