Some creationists may not be stupid but their idea is ridiculous, it's
probably wrong too.

They're free to believe whatever they like and I'm free to believe
creationists are silly and that you're giving them far more respect than they
deserve. I agree that science does not have a very deep explanation for why
there is something rather than nothing, but at least scientists are smart
enough to recognize that limitation. I have contempt for creationists because
they foolishly think they've tied up all the loose ends and have completely
solved this very profound problem with one simple idea. "Existence exists
because God exists" is certainly simple, it's downright retarded in fact,
but a theory that complicates things and immediately rases an obvious
question almost identical and every bit as profound as the one it claims to
answer is not a theory at all, it's a joke.
