Scientists and religious believers are both attracted to unexplained, miraculous phenomena for different reasons. Scientists look for a natural cause and let their curiosity drive them towards an answer. As with intelligent design, God is the desired cause.
Believers have beliefs that only god is capable of doing miracles.
Religious people often say they're happy to accept natural explanations when presented to them. However, in a world of religious folk, such an explanation would never be found. Society would assume there's nothing more to learn because the only relevant knowledge is inside a
holy book.
Religious people sometimes say that God provides or inspires answers when needed, but throughout history, they've persecuted scientists who've received this inspirations or answers.
