I had always been under the impression that Creationists mainly believed in Bishop Usher's notion that the Earth was created in 4004 BC, as stated in the Bible. Since palaeolithic diet  theory, of necessity, goes at least back to 10,000 years ago, that particular theory is indeed in direct opposition to palaeolithic diet  ideas - after all, the main point of a palaeolithic diet is that 10,000 years is way too little for genuine adaptation to certain non-palaeo foods. Of course, since raw, palaeolithic diet dogma goes back even further(to beyond c. 250-000 to 300,000 years ago), Creationism is even more at odds with that particular dogma.

I had no idea that some Creationists  had earlier dates in mind than 4004 BC.

"If you believe that the human race is old enough to have been subjected to dietary selection pressures, and that as a result became adapted to certain foods and not others, you have all you need to make sense of the paleo diet. This might exclude young-earth creationists, but that's about it. "
