I'm non-religious. I said that "God did it" is answer to why because it is a simplified form of what most Christians will tell you if you ask them why the universe exists. Example: Evolution: [b]Why is there a universe?[/b] I don't know. [b]How are people as they are today?[/b] Because there was a need to adapt and evolve to meet our conditions on earth. Creation: [b]Why is there a universe?[/b] God made a universe because he was lonely and wanted a companion made in his likeness to spend eternity with. [b]How are people as they are today?[/b] I don't know. "God did it" is as much an answer to why, as "because Evolution" is to how.
