If something can't be explained, it is much more intellectually honest to say, "I don't know" rather than declare that it somehow must be due to the existence of god. There seems to be a common misconception that atheists have determined all of the answers to important questions about life with science and declared anything unanswered to be unimportant. In fact, atheists are quite content with not being able to answer a question, but never will we explain the unexplainable with god. One will find that as soon as god is removed as the answer to the unexplainable, he/she/it becomes an entirely useless concept.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
