Creationists, what was God thinking when he made the blind mole rat?

Question

They are completely blind, but God made them with tiny eyes that are completely covered with skin?  What was his point?

OR

Is it possible that these eyes used to function in an ancestor with a reliance on eyesight, but as the creature began to thrive in underground environments, they lost their need for eyesight.    Those with larger eyes, then, had an increased likelihood of injury/infection, and the genes the coded for smaller eyes were more likely to be passed on, until the rodent assumed its modern form.

Let's assume an omnipotent being with many human personality characteristics did it, for the sake of common sense.  So why the non-functioning eyes under the skin?

How do you know it isn't helpful to literally see under your skin?

edit: as you can see, banging you head against a wall is a good way to learn about Creationism.

Vestigial eyes for animals that don't need them aren't very good evidence for an intelligent designer.  Nor birds that can't fly.
