The correct answer is, "we don't know".
It is not "God did it". Unless, of course, you are able to provide demonstrable and falsifiable evidence, and valid and sound logic to support that claim.
You are engaging in classic "argument from ignorance". Just because the answer is not yet known, does not mean your answer becomes correct by default.
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
