What third alternative are you thinking of? Both? Creation by evolution is still evolution..

Well, there are a number of alternatives
- generation of the tree of life by some naturalistic mechanism other than natural selection, so a different 'kind' of evolution
- creation by some beings of natural origin
- creation by some supernatural being other than the Christian God.
None of these validates the creationist worldview. If ToE as currently understood is falsified, they are potential solutions.
