Give it a scientific-sounding name and people will believe 'poof, magic' and deny they do it.

As is in the case of the *Goddidit* argument.

They just relabel it as singularity, state that they don't know where it came from, how it got there, how "long" it was there before it expanded, why it expanded, expect everyone to "oooh" and "ahhhh" over their brilliant insight, and then mock creationists for believing the God orchestrated it instead of it happening all by itself.

Well, philosophical naturalism (i.e., evolution) is rationally inferior to creationism. A creationist has the choice of invoking 'goddidit' or natural laws.

An evolutionist does not have this option, but must 'create an apparatus of investigation and a set of concepts that produce material explanations, no matter how counter-intuitive, no matter how mystifying to the uninitiated' according to Lewontin.
