God and science are not in conflict. People are in conflict with God.

Of course they are. Nobody knows what actually happened, but to say that an all knowing God would not know how an expanding universe would look like upon creation is ludicrous.
God knew about how everything would exactly be and created a perfect universe based on the natural laws he put in place. It is entirely possible, given an all knowing and all powerful God exists.

Faulty assumptions go unchecked. Unobserved theories were allowed to be considered truth.
