It all comes down to one thing...

And most people fall victim to this fallacy also...

It is the binary thought fallacy.

Basically, just because we don't know, or are not intelligent enough to understand the complexities of the universe (or anything else for that matter), that we default to an answer.

They used to worship the sun once upon a time... Because they had no other explanation.
Binary thought and the god of the gaps fallacies are the 2 most popular fallacies amongst theists...

Fight the urge... (Unless of course you've already reached your conclusion and are just working backwards to make it fit a particular fairy tale ... That's another fallacy of reason...Big Grin)

Bolding mine. Nah, brah, some enterprising prick made that shit up to get in on nicking his fellow humans out of their money and sweet virgin girls.

As for the OP, just because someone didn't see something built doesn't mean it didn't have a builder, and a putative "god" doesn't have to be named/blamed for said edifice.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
