There's a belief termed "theistic evolution" where one holds that God created the initial conditions of the universe and let it proceed organically from there.

Naturally, this requires discounting the Genesis account of creation, among other things. It also starts to border closer to deism, which is at odds with conventional Abrahamic interpretations of a heavily interventionist God.

Stephen Jay Gould dubbed this "Non-Overlapping Magisteria". As is the case with religion, it's possible to compartmentalize and select everything into a syncretic faith. Whether it is "bizarre" or "nonsensical" is of no relevance.
