People tend to use God and religion to explain that which science has not explained yet.
For all we know, our entire planet could be a science experiment by aliens who have been in existence far longer than we have. Consider the following time frame:

Existence of the Universe after Big Bang (before which there was no time or matter)
-13.73 billion years (13,000,000,000)

Existence of JUST our Earth
-4.54 billion years

This alone means that there could have been other planets with species which could have developed and died BEFORE our Earth was even hospitable.

Although my opinion as a Science person is very skewed, I think all people are wasting time and resources studying stuff about ourselves. If I had my way, I'd throw all money into astronomical and physics research. In the end, it is the ONLY science anyways.

Note that at the same time I am not saying "God" does not exist, as "it" could be a far higher power that exists yet we do not comprehend or understand yet. To either accept or deny other worldly powers or entities would be irresponsible at best, and ignorant at worst.
