If you have no explanations for those things, then by default God is the best explanation.
NO explanation wins by default. Your claim would only be true if we ruled out every single other possible explanation.
If you have no explanation that literally means you have no explanation. This is a classic God of the gaps example, which commits the fallacy of arguing from ignorance.
Suppose you have 4 explanations about any given phenomena. The first three have some flaw. For the fourth, there is no plausible objection. Does that mean the fourth is true? No. It only means that it is reasonable to believe the fourth it is true as a tentative working theory provided it is coherent and conforms to experience.
