I know i pissed some people off with the title, but seriously though, think about it. The principle of Occam's Razor states that one should not make unnecesaary assumptions about things. If i see a phenomenon that i cannot explain, i hit the internet or the books to find an answer. If no one has an answer for me, then i realize that humanity has simply not advanced far enough to answer that question. I am happy with this explanation, and eagerly await the day when someone figures it out. I do not see an unexplained phenomenon and immediately think "This must be the work of some all-powerful, inconcievable being that i can never see or have any proof of!" That would be inventing unnecessary assumptions about the situation, would it not? Surely there must be a simpler explanation than that? I'd like to hear your real opinions, but i suppose i should prepare to be flamed like every other question in this category.
