Even if science had no answers whatsoever, the idea of "God" needs to be properly defined, falsifiable and testable before it can even have any evidence for it. Otherwise it's just an assumption, which is pointless. And that's way before you get into how you pick from the infinite number of possible religions. Or ask why on earth it would require or desire worship. Or punish people for picking the wrong religion, when they all have the same amount of evidence (none).
"God did it" tells us nothing. It is absolutely equivalent to "I don't know". Same amount of words, too. Same amount of explanatory power. (Or "I don't know, and have given up trying to understand. I want quick and easy answers now, even if that means they are made up".)
