Which is just another way of say. "I don't know how to explain this, so instead of going out and doing some work to find the reason and explanation, I'll decide right here there isn't one and chalk it up to God." Religion is the philosophy of ignorance.

Imagine if all the great minds like Newton, Einstein, Darwin etc. had just thrown up their arms when presented with a challenge and said ah forget it, it's all God. How poorer our lives would be. What about the discovery and understanding of the immune system? Should we have just chalked that one up to God too?

"Everything in life we can't explain is God", unfortunately for most people never a truer word was spoken but thank goodness for those people for whom it's not true.
