This is why the faith of Christianity or other religions are losing ground gradually as more and more mysteries of life are slowly explained in the form of science. But of course, those who are already committing the fallacy of "My mind is made up: don't confuse me with the facts" will still stand their ground to the very end.

We see this all the time. "The Pyramids are too vast and complex for Ancient Egyptians to have built them. Therefore people from another planet or star system must have built them." Or how about this, the human body is too complex for random evolution to have developed it. The human body therefore must be the result of intelligent design.

Tell me about it. People on RIA tend to let their religious beliefs cloud their common sense.

In my view there is a force that is at the foci of all natural occurances in the universe, however there is a rational explanation for all such phenomenon. After all, an explaination of that divine force is the highest form of rationality. There is a core of knowledge that is attainable to those who seek it. Simply saying that it's God's will is simply not the point, again that's intellectual laziness at work.

I think this is borne of a misanthropic asceticism that regards the human mind with an apalling lack of reverence. It's the idea (cop-out) that if you cannot understand something, then that's because God did it and you're not supposed to understand it. It is the act of a self-hating mind giving up and placing itself at the mercy of those who claim to know the unknowable.
