stop investigating and just say God did it. But why can't a person say, if God did it this is how he may have done it?

Your suggestion is exactly what people are saying in Intelligent Design.
Every time I look at science, I marvel at how things are put together, and can't believe (seriously cannot believe) that all this happened as a product of random mutations.

Is it not sciences job to be objective? Then if the answer to that question is yes, then science cannot look just at the Judeo-Christian view of creation, but at all creations myths around the world. A recent hypotheses states that they world it self is a living organism and this theory was given the name "The Gaia Hypothesis" after the Greek goddess Gaia (in case anyone wants to know her other names are Ge, Gaea, Thea, The Mother Of All Beings, and The Oldest One) who was the first being in existence that came out of Chaos, and She was the progenitor of all the gods and goddess of the Greek mythology. Knowing this since Gaia is called the Earth Mother and knowing that God created Man form the dust and dirt of the Earth would that not make us Her children as well? Do you see the trouble proving even just one religion right would do to the religious and political climate of the world? There would be people trying to force on to others what they believe, and science is not here to prove on religion right and the others wrong for this very reason. Even majority scientist will tell that they are not out to prove God exist that is for the person to decide.

You want to have your cake and eat it too, I see. Some people try to get by with this, but it isn't true science. If you mention one god, you must investigate them all to be fair and objective. Christians say their god is real but others are not. That won't do to a scientist. Yahweh the god of Moses is no more real than Brahma the creator in Hinduism, Allah in Islam, Yu Ti the Chinese Jade Emperor, Ahuramazda the good god of Zoroastrianism, etc., etc. There is much evidence against the existence of gods but none for it. The Bible is strong evidence against the Christian god, for it has dozens of contradictions and dozens of scientific errors. It says pi is 3, but it's 3.14159, so I cannot use the Bible in engineering work.

As is posted in another answer above. We could also say that Brahma created the universe, or Ahura Mazda, or Buddah, or Zeus, or Odin, or just about any other deity.
The problem is, there is no way to prove or disprove what you are postulating. This is what makes science science. When we allow simple conjectures to stand without any mean of proving or disproving it, then science becomes meaningless. I would fully support bring in God, Brahma, etc. into the mix if there was a way to prove or disprove Him, but religion is by nature an issue of faith, not science.

If it wasn't for science I personnally wouldn't beleive in the God of the Bible.
There are thousands of cures, that we have yet to find, to what ails us all, do we stop looking for them even if there were infallable proof that God exists? No.
It's in our nature to explore, and to find out what makes things tick.
This is nothing wrong with figuring out how God might have did things.
Don't let the Darwins of this world convince you otherwise.

Anyone who would stop investigating and say "God did it" would not be using the brains God gave him.
