These are classic cases of deflection, when someone is unable to answer a charge against them, similar to: you're fat, they answer with: yes but I'm not as fat as he/she is, creationists do this as a matter of course, when they are asked questions they can not answer they ask a question, when charged with doing something they react by pointing at something else, children do it when accused of doing something wrong they point at others and say they were not as bad as they were.
The only ones who do not see this is creationists, they do not even see it when other creationists do it,
is it just another mental block to go with all the others?
