Religion can't really explain things though. If I say a floating jellyfish did it all, and we are too stupid to ever know why, that doesn't give any clarity.

Tim Minchin has a great line about this in one of his songs[1]

'Science adjusts its views based on what's observed. Faith is the denial of observation so that belief can be preserved'
