I mean,nobody is really going to understand why a rock comes down when you throw it up - it just does.This hints for a pre-designed world.Thus my conclusion that creationists might be right.What do you think?

That reveals a sad, no doubt Christianity inspired, pre-modern mental block.
Christianity was born in the Iron Age, and reflects a stone/Bronze Age level of not just ignorant, but presumption. In the Bronze Age, people did try to make some sense of how the world works by looking at some mechanism behind their operations. But the human mind afforded no mechanism that can be observed or deduced with Bronze Age tools or understanding. The thugs of Bronze Age who presumes to know therefore boxed the mind away as a black box with levitated will devoid of supporting mechanism, gave it the name soul and extrapolated it to a fictitious entity that can be passed off as an explanation for everything beyond their puny understanding and circumscribed imagination. From this you get god, Allah, Christ, and other imaginary thuggish narcissistic maglomanical riffraffs that makes up the zoo of human cognitive disfunction. These riffraffs natural comes with the attribute of levitated will devoid of supporting mechanism, because the presumption is what led to the mental creation of this zoo in the first place.
Even in the Iron Age, the more perceptible have already come to see the presumption that will exists without a mechanism is an unwarranted assumption, as well as how powerful a tool for understanding the probing of the mechanisms behind phenomenon is. But those who perpetuate the rule of the riffraffs of Bronze Age superstition, and in doing so hope to rule through these riffraffs, which includes all members of all clergies, as well as self styled "theologians", preachers and "ministers", understand that if the will of "God" is not presumed to be devoid of a mechanism, then their own rule, previlege and utterly Untterly undeserved position of respect in every field of discourse in which they all uniformly have no real competency, would come to a screeching end.
Hence the perpetuation of the mental block that if a God created the mechanism of the universe, the mechanism that made the god tick, could not be probed just as how the mechanism that makes a lever work could be probed.
