In a USENET group, an evolution challenge came up from a creationist (YEC). The reply was, in my opinion, perfectly accurate with just the right amount of offensiveness:

"onversely, how does creation by God explain how God got "there" (wherever that is) in the first place?

Answer: it doesn't. It just makes the question into a blasphemy.

Maybe with your infinite intelligence you can get a Ph. D. in physics and spend your life studying trying to put together what happened before the Big Bang, but I don't think you have the curiosity. Far easier just to make questions blasphemous."

Before the Big Bang? OK.

Again, I'm very sad to see rhetoric in the place of intelligent thinking. YEC's have to stay so damn closed minded to believe...

So, it's only blasphemous if you aren't a PhD in physics...which makes the PhDs who push this stuff prophets!
