It's worse than that. What people like the OP are saying is basically "Nobody knows who built this thing, so obviously it was a god" without realising - or hoping we won't realise - that "nobody knows" means precisely that and doesn't mean they get to say "therefore we know". Not without getting called out for it, anyway.
Besides, by limiting one's search parameters to "who did it" instead of "what did it" blinds one to answers that don't slit their throats on Occam's Razor.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
