is that the explanation is not falsifiable:
and thus not even testable. There is no way to create an experiment to show that it's wrong. For every possible set of a test and a result, we could simply say, "God did it." Why do the Earth and universe appear to be so old? God did it. Why does nature seem so balanced? God did it. Once again, why does anything happen? If we say that God did it, there is no reason or opportunity to learn how the world really works. If we had stayed with God as the cause of all events, our modern culture would have been impossible. We would have no real science, engineering, or medicine. We would still be living in the Dark Ages.

I've been trying to explain this point to the theists here for half of the day... no luck so far.
good luck to you with it, I've given up for the day.
You can't teach people who are unwilling to learn.

God explains alot but at the same time he does not. He expects his believer to trust in him which is called 'faith'. Another reason for the lack of explainations from God is the human mind can only understand so much so for the mean time, one just have to trust God (you can called it blind faith or partially blind faith). Yes it is as if we are living in the Dark Ages but for the sake of sanity and time constraints sometimes we have to say 'that's enough thinking for now'.
science, engineering, or medicine are all political instruments. whoever has the greatest money and power has the most say. Research results are heavily biased and the researcher protect their work as if it is their 'baby'. They will get all defensive at the slightest bit of criticism.

that's no longer something greater beneficial than a copout answer that maximum religious human beings use as the thank you to describe the unexplainable fairly than taking the attempt and time to check why and how some thing happens. you're final assertion >>""If we are saying that God did it, there is no reason or threat to check how the international rather works. If we had stayed with God because of the fact the reason of all activities, our contemporary way of existence could have been impossible. we would haven't any real technology, engineering, or drugs. we would nonetheless be dwelling on the hours of darkness an prolonged time""<<< it is so real.. human beings could desire to resign faith and study to think of for themselfs

People who use G-d as an explanation aren't seeking to explain it scientifically.
The problem is that some people think that science is the only way to acquire knowledge when that is clearly not the case.
If only life were that simple.

No one can proove or disproove to someone else that God does not exist... it is a choice to believe in Him...
would you rather believe in the truth as you see it, or in the facts as they are... it is your choice...
Many Evolutionist have already created their own version of truth, without questioning Evolution whatso ever, they believe that there is no God.... but they cannot proove that can they.
Here are some facts...
FACT: DNA cannot make new information, it can only copy old information and shuffle information, resulting in variety among each species, sometimes it loses information, resulting in abnormatilties, cancer, or birth defects...
the Theory of Evolution states that we all come from one ancestor...... yet the facts are in conflict with the theory, nothing can ivolve, only vary, but the variations and differences always remain within each species, nevertheless, each creature is still within its own species...
FACT: Life cannot form from non-life...
the Theory states that somehow, atom by atom, molecule by molecule, a stable cell formed with abilities to reproduce asexualy with absolutly no defects....
ODDS- zero...
FACT: Nothing can form from Nothing...
the Theory states that the universe big banged itself into existance from nothing and created the laws of gravety, relativity, the speed of light, particles, atoms... light... and other matter, by pure chance
Problem:Most every thing is made of atoms, particles of the atom naturally detract from each other, as 2 north magnets do...
So if by some miracle that particles from nothing formed a stable nucleous before they dispersed into infinity, and at the same time obtained a stable electron orbit at insane speeds... that would only be...
1 Atom...
ODDS of Evolution Senario: less than Zero...
That prety much struck the death blow to the widly accepted Theory of Evolution...
Here are more problems...
Where is the missing "link". O yeah, that's right, there has to be millions of missing links in order for Evolution to be prooven, too bad they havn't found even one yet.
What else can explain our existance and the universe's existance?
Creationism.... that leads to a Creator...
Can you accept that? Can you believe in the Facts? Or do you prefer what is more comfortable... sugar coated lies? Fairy tales for adults...
Many cannot, so they choose to believe in anything short of insanity and beyond than in God or even the possiblity...
Now that you know the Facts, it is up to you to believe in them or not.
It is not blind faith, you must first open your eyes and see the evidence for yourself....
God bless you and yours

Try explaining how darwins theory can explain the bacterial flagelet motor! It cannot it completely falls apart which is why there is a purpose and design in creation that cannot be explained away by evolution

How did the human brain evolve into such a device as to always want to discover the answers to the unknown? (answer: God did it!)

The fact that we lack the ability to test something does not make it untrue. It only means that our abilities are lacking.
