That's the premise, yes, and (as Ham has pointed out about a thousand times) they don't have a problem with moving on to go to actual science afterwards. As a premise it's not much more ridiculous than 'God didn't do it and that's the end.'

Personally, I don't see why religion and science have to be diametrically opposed. 

To me, science tells us the HOW about the Universe. Religion tells us the WHY about the Universe. 

God created the Universe? Cool. Makes sense, there had to be [i]something[/i] before the Big Bang. Maybe God sneezed. Or pushed a domino over. Whatever. He started stuff. 

Six days? Could have felt like it to God. We may have been made in his image, but I'm damn sure God isn't human. He's got to be some being that exists beyond the three dimensions that we exist in. 

And so on and so forth.
