but saying 'God did it' doesnt say 'How God did it'
surely believing that God may have done it, doesnt mean we dont want to know 'how' he did it
why is it assumed that people would stop wanting to know how?
It's not that people don't WANT to know, it's that people CAN'T know.
God can do anything, anything at all, how are we to determine that god did something, if nothing is impossible?

could you please rephrase that for little ol me
Of course.
What Can we not know???
How god made everything. There is no difference between god using evolution to make life diversify, or god personally intervening and changing the species, but making it look like evolution did it.
Likewise there is no difference between how gravity works, instead of god using angels to make it appear this is how gravity works.
That's why "goddidit" can never be an explanation.

however, i doubt that God would want us to stop wondering... it seems he made us with the ability to also create things and therefore my guess is that our sense of curiosity will always win over and we will always search for the answers.
I think he would want it that way.
Then why make it impossible for us to know the answers? Does he like playing games like that? That's not very nice of him.
For example, all the evidence we have right now points to evolution being the cause of the diversity of life we see. But what if it wasn't evolution? What if it was god directly intervening and changing the species into what the environment desired? How are we ever to know this if there's nothing that can ever point in that direction, because everything points to evolution. And then, when we are asked how life diversified, it is OUR fault we don't say "goddidit"? Why would he do it like that?
