If you attempt to sell this idea to a Creationist/religous person, the rebuttal will invariably be: ''No one knows the mind of God. His ways are not our ways. Faith, is a mystery.''
There mere fact that a gender is even applied to 'God,' should tell you that logic doesn't come into play here.
Creationists are more than satisfied with believing that the things that can't be rightfully explained through science/logic, have a Creator as the answer, no matter how illogical it seems. (I used to be Christian, yet, I wasn't sold on Creationism, tbh.)
Circular arguments ensue, and you, the logical one, will just end up with a massive headache.
I was brought up in a very rational, very logical family with no religion at all apart from at school. So you may be able to see how I find creationists minds so confusing.

'You can have all the faith you want in spirits, and the afterlife, and heaven and hell, but when it comes to this world, don't be an idiot. Cause you can tell me you put your faith in God to put you through the day, but when it comes time to cross the road, I know you look both ways.' - Dr House
“Young earth creationism is essentially the position that all of modern science, 90% of living scientists and 98% of living biologists, all major university biology departments, every major science journal, the American Academy of Sciences, and every major science organization in the world, are all wrong regarding the origins and development of life….but one particular tribe of uneducated, bronze aged, goat herders got it exactly right.” - Chuck Easttom
"If my good friend Doctor Gasparri speaks badly of my mother, he can expect to get punched.....You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others. There is a limit." - Pope Francis on freedom of speech
