Sounds like a 'god of the gaps' argument. If we don't know/understand something, jump to god did it. Which is a non-answer.
There's tons I don't know, but in no way will I just assume some god exists and that he did it. I'll just admit to not knowing something and see if I can find a way to understanding it. If I can't then I'll have to leave it as an unknown.
Humans have a terrible habit of jumping to 'goddidit' when they don't know something. I guess it's that need to fill in that gap, even if it's with something very hollow and easily breakable.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan
Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
