Well, whose to say that the two can't be one and the same? There can be a God that set in motion the formation of Earth.
It also depends on your definition of
"God," I suppose.
Unless you have seen both the work of God and the work of billions of years of evolution by themselves, then how can you say which one was responsible for the creation of the Earth? Of course, this is just logical acrobats. It's hard to deny science, like half-lives of atoms, which say that the Earth is billions of years old, rather than thousands, like some religions posit.
We are also making the assumption that there is a God, no matter how you define the term.
Not sure what you were shooting for, but I hope this answer helps.
