Kind of like believing in the Easter rabbit, Santa Claus, the tooth fairy, the fairy godfather, and the leprechaun all at the same time.

You just believe in one of them (God) at once. That makes you so much better.

Belief in God is not innately irrational, believing in a God from a religion other than Deism is. The Deist view of God is perfectly compatable with evolution, the big bang theory, etc because it is based on the idea that the universe functions on the laws of nature God established and God left it to its own devices. Our God doesn't micromanage since that would imply imperfection in the universe's fundamentals.
