It is aximoronic in that it implies a creationless deity, contradictory to the Biblical record, essentially reducing that record to the status of myth. On the other hand it promotes a godless explanation of origins relative to all that exists.
Why would a creationist deity be oxymoronic, just because it goes against your belief in the Abrahamic god and your scripture? I think you keep forgetting that belief is not evidence.

Re: Contradictions
What ToE goes against is Biblical theism as set forth in the Biblical record rife with ID and the supernatural.
So why if a person chooses to accept that there is a god can't this person also accept evolution. Many Theists accept that the creation story in Genesis is no more than, at best, an allegory.
