Okay.  It seems that you creationists have proven your ability to
avoid  issues that would positively wipe out your silly theory of
origins ...

So when will one of you be brave enough to tackle the problem  of
a  creator?  In case you missed all of the other posts in which I
mentioned this problem in detail, read this:

[The theory of special creation requires, at its very foundation,
a creator.  (I will simply skip over the possibility of more than
one creator, an irrelevant sidetrack.)  The creator is, by defin-
ition,  a  supernatural one.  Science deals strictly with the na-
tural.  This quickly disqualifies the creator as anything remote-
ly  scientific  because  the  creator  can bypass laws of nature.
Also, the creator is not scientifically falsifiable  as  one  can
quickly  resort  to any number of pseudo-explanations like "He is
just fooling your eyes".  In any case, a creator is not scientif-
ic.   Therefore, any theory which require the use of a creator is
not a valid a scientific theory.  Since creationism requires  the
use of a creator, it is not scientific.]

So when are you guys going to deal with this problem?
