The reason I ask is because "god" (in one form or another) was once the answer for EVERYTHING, but thanks to brave people (scientists mostly) who challenged the entrenched theology of the day, we learned that the earth wasn't flat, developed medicine, flight, and so on.
Modern civilization is a result of bold men who said "no" to theology, and "yes" to science. Each time they demanded naturalistic answers to questions, they discarded "god", and in so doing, discovered the truth. It wasn't easy, (it was often deadly) but the results are evident.
Progress.
Why be content with hackneyed answers like "god created the universe", or "god created people", when it's clear that finding out the real truth to every single question we ask undeniably improves life for all mankind?
Saying "god" is the answer may feel good, but it's no more productive than saying "I don't know." Knowledge improves the human condition. Don't you want to know?
