Creationists do not stop at "god did this".

They know that. It's just easier for them to mock than to think.

[Creationists do not stop at "god did this".]

Sorry, but he's right. Ultimately, creationists *do* stop at "goddidit". Press them long enough for an explanation of why things are as they are (e.g., why endogenous retroviruses in DNA appear in various species in exactly the way that an evolutionary "family tree" would predict if they evolved from a common ancestor), and they'll resort to, "because God made it that way". Then they sit there happy and smug, despite the fact that they haven't bothered to address *why* God would choose to "make" DNA as if evolution had occurred, when there'd be no good (or even bad) reason to do so from a design standpoint.

"Goddidit" *is* where they stop thinking.
