And if you don't know how god can create a universe, how can you seriously accept god as an explanation? You're replacing the question we don't know the answer to: "How did the universe come into existence?". With another question: "How did god make the universe come into existence?". A mystery is replaced with another mystery that we will never know.
I think for most of them, they stop caring about explaining it, since introspection tends to lead to cognitive dissonance on these matters. So, it's probably nice just to accept it and move on...
I think this is really the best answer you're going to get. No one knows how magic works, but they believe in it anyway.
