If I ask you how an automobile is made, telling me that they're made by factory workers or with tools doesn't actually answer the question, any more than 'quantum physics' would be an answer that would satisfy you regarding how the universe came into existence. When you ask a magician how he performed a trick and he answers 'with magic!', he's not answering your question, he's evading it.
Yes! Thank you! I toyed with this question on the other page, but it's so nice to see it expressed cogently like this. It's so weird how the theist demands painstaking, step by step proof for scientific principles, but when it comes to their own answer to the same questions, they just shrug and say god did it. Completely ignoring that, even if that were true, it doesn't answer the question at all, and the scientific minded individual wouldn't be satisfied with it. The how is left unanswered, and yet the theist still claims victory...
