Richard, you got that right. Just because science can't currently explain everything doesn't mean that the automatic default is some sort of supreme being.
At one time people thought the earth was flat. Which, by the way, is supported in the Bible.
At one time people thought disease was caused by evil spirits such as the devil. Even today some of my favorite Sunday morning comedians are still trying to drive the devil out of sick people.
At one time people thought species were fixed and unchanging.
Many people still believe the earth is only about 10,000 years old.
But science has come along to shine a light on these old, outdated beliefs. And I'm sure as we continue to make discoveries many other incorrect notions will fall by the wayside.
One other thought. If this universe was created by a supreme being, who created the supreme being?
