For that matter a scientist might theorise that the universe does not
exist, in view of the fact that science leaves no possibility that it
could have had a beginning. A well-known scientific dictum propounds
that "nothing comes from nothing. Nothing ever could," (actually it's
a song in Sound of Music but it's also in the laws of thermodynamics).
Even science can battle with logic.
