What you are describing is a panacea. But in reality, a panacea explains nothing.
Wouldn't it be more intellectually honest to just admit when we do not have an explanation, instead of sticking in something that does not explain a thing? You could just as well say, "falmbo may just be that which explains the unexplainable", and you have changed nothing.
Remember, your god 'explanation' was once used to explain: lightning, earthquakes, famine, disease, floods, etc. All have since been actually explained by using evidence and reason.
Quote: God may be the force that drives the universe to work the way it does.
Nature seems to be a fine explanation for that.
Why put the "god" label on it?
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
