How blind salamanders make nonsense of creationists' claims

A very interesting discussion on how underground salamanders with vestigal eyes make a strong claim against ID (though it is almost pointless to use logic against an illogical claim).  I would love to hear the arguments against that are not the old: "they are put there by God to test your faith" because that one is getting really lame...

Vestigial eyes, for example, are clear evidence that these cave salamanders must have had ancestors who were different from them—had eyes, in this case. That is evolution. Why on earth would God create a salamander with vestiges of eyes? If he wanted to create blind salamanders, why not just create blind salamanders? Why give them dummy eyes that don't work and that look as though they were inherited from sighted ancestors?
