I don't. I'm willing to admit that science doesn't have answers to things that can't be replicated in a lab, such as how matter came from void, or how life emerged from non-living molecules. That doesn't mean I need to believe in a god. I'm willing to go through life with some questions unanswered, knowing that just as soon as somebody comes up with a probable solution they'll let me know.
Why to theists seem to think that because there are gaps in what science is able to positively say, that should make atheists turn to a totally implausible explanation like "God did it"? Is having some answer, any answer, more important than searching for the correct answer?

Yes, i have never understood how a gap in a theory must "prove" it is fake, thereby "proving" the bible is true.
Strange, strange people with even stranger logic.

The universe is a vast place and uncommon and unbelievable issues take place continually. for occasion there are in all probability many photograph voltaic systems interior the universe that would look such as our very own. As for the character of the universe and how the fundamental constants are such that chemistry is obtainable and stars can form and so on, numerous that's unknown immediately. some researchers posit that there are an limitless variety of universes in a "multiverse" and we needless to say exist interior the only that is conducive to existence (all the constants and forces of nature are basically good). Others recommend that the fundamental constants of nature are fastened logically. for occasion, all of us comprehend that pi = 3.1415... if it grew to become into the different fee, circles ought to not form. yet to be surprised that pi is exactly 3.1415.. is slightly stupid because of the fact it ought to not be something and nevertheless be stated as pi. Likewise, the mass of the electron, or the capability of gravity may well be logically impossible to be something with the aid of an theory that we don't yet have explaining those constants. As to the question of something coming from not something, look on the video below of Dr Lawrence Krauss discussing the undertaking.

Just because something can't be replicated in a lab doesn't mean science can't answer it. Science is about studying the world around you and if something can be replicated in a lab that is just another way of studying it. Say no to jesus

Science does know how matter came from void and how life emerged from non-living materials. Do research.

I have no problem with not knowing; there are lots of things I'll never know. I do, however, have a huge problem with the creationist madmen trying to tell my kids that some guy magically created everything.

I think that is the best way to do it. It also leaves a sense of mystery and freedom to imagine(even if it is just dreams), it is still good.

I totally agree. Knowledge is good, but must be distinguished from speculation unsupported by evidence.

I don't NEED to know. I'd like to though.
I think grasping at answers is a big part of why we don't know.

Look if there was no intelligence behind it then it would not have happened, so what do you prefer to call that intelligence?
