Ah - then creationism fails the first criterion for being a science.

What would these explanations be?

Limited understanding is not an insurmountable problem, as long as one is open to discovery. That's why the God hypothesis is not an answer, because (among other things) it instantly locks the mind from investigating further. It's like when you can't find your car keys; you look in the most obvious places until you find them, then you stop looking. But what if the keys you found are not your car keys? If you stop investigating, you may never find them.
As for what makes sense: unfortunately, the Universe is generally unaware and moreover uninterested in what makes sense to us. For centuries, rainbows were regarded as magical because nobody could figure out how they were so perfectly formed and how all those colours knew how to arrange themselves. Now, of course, most of us - with a few notable exceptions - not only know the secret to this magic, but would find such primitive musings rather silly.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
