"You're borrowing from my worldview" and "The Christian worldview accounts for..."

RE: "You're borrowing from my worldview" and "The Christian worldview a...
List of the logical fallacies this "argument" uses:

Argument from Ignorance: You can't explain the laws of logic, therefore GodDidIt
Argument from Incredulity: I can't imagine how else we could explain the laws of logic.
Bare Assertion: Yahweh's existence accounts for the laws of logic
Circular Reasoning: By assuming Yahweh's existence, we can account for the laws of logic, which is how we reason Yahweh exists.
Tu Quoque: Everybody has presuppositions. You believe in science. I believe in Jesus. So we're even. 
Special Pleading: None of the other gods account for the laws of logic.
Shifting the Burden of Proof: You can't account for the laws of logic.
Raising the Bar: Account for why we use reason without using reason.*
Non Sequitur: You don't know everything, therefore Jesus. 

* Science delivers the goods. "That's saying it works because it works which is circular reasoning". No, independent and repeatable tests isn't circular reasoning anymore than footnoting a book is circular because you're using a book to prove a different book. 

Also, treating the "Laws of Logic" as if they were a force in the universe as opposed to observations of how reality works is a faulty assumption. 

Finally, GodDidIt, GodWillsIt, GodIsIt, GodVerbIt doesn't help us understand anything.
