The problem with the creation/evolution debate has always been that "Because God made it that way" is implicitly a viable answer to any question. One problem with that answer, of course, is that it doesn't invite or even allow for further research; it's a finality. The other problem is that there's no logical difference between saying "God made it that way" and saying "Little green men from Mars made it that way". (note: I am a religious person, and I believe in God - I just recognize that a universal [and unprovable] assertion makes for bad science)

Don;t get me wrong. I'm religious myself. But what kills me is exactly what you said. The age old claim of "because God made it that way". I find it quite odd that God would make the laws of physics(that we know of so far) and with those very same laws, we are able to determine that the universe is at least 13 billion years old. So then God must be a real trickster to give us a brain, and not expect us to use it. Ohh well, ignorance is bliss I suppose.
