Doesn't it mean some supernatural intelligent being is responsible?

Science by the definition of its method can only explain what it has objective evidence for. It can not invoke any supernatural or subjective explanation for events because obviously this would allow for anyone to claim a truth based solely on a miracle. A miracle is an event that can't be explained by known laws of nature; science thus builds up facts in a deductive progression, building new truths on old laws of nature.
That science and faith come to be at odds is that science finds rules for events happening that shows some miracles to be explainable or impossible. This takes the "thunder" and awe out of the event which undermines the old miraculous explanations for the event..Scientists can become pretty cocksure and theologians pretty angry at their dogma being made petty. It is a struggle for influential power.
It is obvious that some things can't be explained by science but their cocksureness is such that they have a gigantic leap of "faith" that an explanation will be found. It is also a fact that the things that aren't explained may be supernatural in fact but to attribute a god to this is another gigantic leap of faith. I ask is there anything wrong with both just saying about some things, "I really don't know."?

There are some things that science can't explain now. But who's to say that it won't be able to in a few hundred years' time.

Sort of. The Creator is beyond human comprehension. It is the ultimate act of arrogance to define and shape The Creator into man's image. We are but a speck of dust to her. The creator is responsible for science. Physics, time, all science IS God. Same as you and me and yes even monkeys. God is every molecule.

If you can't account for your whereabouts yesterday, does that mean I should assume you were raping women and molesting children?
Just because something is unexplained does not mean a fairy tale argument is true. I learned that in grade 1, I don't know what's taking you so long.

Like what? Obviously, we have a long way to go, and I do believe in a God and Goddess, but I also think that the human mind is still young and we have so much more to learn before we can make a definite generalization.

I'd hate to be such a being. As every gap is closed through a new discovery or research, it finds its jurisdiction shrinking. How do you deliver a pink slip to such a creature?.

If mankind threw up its hands and explained that everything it did not have an answer to was done by God, many of us would not be alive today. It does logically follow that what we don't understand is the work of God.

No. If science can't explain it today, they will after a few hundred years.

The first guy to answer your question sums up most of the athiest in the world. Just because we don't see it now doesn't mean we never will. Basically he is saying there is no proof but you should believe him anyway because sometime after your dead they'll find the answer..

Not necessarily. It may just mean that science hasn't explained it YET.
