Because it's easy. Rather than working at trying to find out the real reasons for anything, it's much easier to say something like, "oh, god did this or that".

Many biologists believe this may be the byproduct of another evolutionary development -- in that religion itself is not of biological benefit, but it is a side-effect of something that is.
A common thread is that in terms of perceiving intent, a false positive is better than a false negative. Mistaking a wolf for a tree branch could be deadly, while mistaking a tree branch for a wolf is mostly inconsequential. So we have the tendency to see intent and personality where none exists.
Similarly, when the volcano erupts, we may see intent in nature's "actions" where none exists.

unbelievers blame God for unexplained things, "self proclaimed" Christan's use God to benefit them...
Children of God relies He gives men free will and in life things happen we don't understand, but most of all doesn't unexplainable things prove their is a higher power?
signs are for unbelievers not believers

Because what can not be explained, and is beyond the realm of us to understand, is considered "miraculous." These "miraculous" events are then attributed to a higher unseen intelligence that many consider a God.

Because certain "men" actually sought out the truth instead of waiting for it to come to them. These men took a leap of faith and because of it, discovered God is real. Still others are far too afraid to take that leap, so they unfortuanately will never know. What are you afraid of?

Because they really don't know why things happen. God's hook is a big one, so they hang it all on him. No questions asked.
It is interesting that most never ask Him personally about these things.

Well, when you cant figure out the unexplained, who else better to attribute it to than a magical man in the sky who can perform all deeds?? Doesnt make it real, either way.

God hasn't always been the answer. Nature, the moon, sun, money, gold etc... have also been implicated.
