People tend to look for answers, that's right. But looking for that answer in a spiritual way is the "god of the gaps" argument. I don't understand something or science fails to come up with all the answers, so it has to be god, some god, any god, having a hand in it.
The less we knew, the more we were craving for answers. That's how religions came into existence. Early civilizations looked at the sun, the moon and the nature surrounding them for their gods. Later on religion took up the shape of some celestial government with every god having a certain agenda.
Fact is, we don't know all the answers, but looking at a god for explanation adds nothing to our knowledge.
