Just because we do not understand something, and may never understand it, does not mean that any supernatural means must be invoked.
Isn't "God did it" pretty much the SOP since ancient times?
When ancient man didn't know what the sun, moon, planets, and stars were; they were the gods.
When droughts or other natural disasters occurred, the gods were displeased or had left them.
As mankind starts to understand the world around us, god changes. He is no longer the sun, the stars are no longer the angels, tornadoes and earthquakes are no longer tools of punishment, and many diseases are curable and not a curse from a god.
Today, religions still use God to explain what we don't understand.
A gentle answer turns away wrath, But a harsh word stirs up anger.
™ Version 4.2
