It seems, from my point of view, that you just accept that these things exist without explanation, and they always did exist and always will exist and that you don't have to account for them. That isn't compelling to me. Am I wrong? Do you want to take one of them and hash it out and see if maybe your worldview is weak in some of those areas?
Saying "God did it" does not account for anything either. It has no explanatory power. I might as well say that fairies did it. Invoking magic is the end of our ability to look deeper into the "why" of anything.
As a scientist, I accept that I do not know explanations for many things "yet", and there may be some questions for which no evidence can be found. We don't know. I am perfectly happy to live with uncertainty, as it is the only intellectually honest position. To imagine a God-of-the-gaps has always been a fallacy.
