Science doesn't say "God didn't do it."

Then why do so many evos on this forum mock creationists for that very thing? They've coined it *Goddidit*.

Probably because of the intrusion of "Goddidit" into science. It's lazy, why try to figure out what happened when "Goddidit" covers everything? Even Newton, an extremely religious man, was careful not to use "Goddidit" to cover phenomena that his theories couldn't explain.

BTW, the term "God of the Gaps" (basically "Goddidit") was coined by a Christian evangelist warning Christians not to fill in what science can't yet explain with "Goddidit."
