we do question it. But rather than say god, we find new things because Science changes as we gather more data, we advance our ideas. I for one, don't understand Einstein's theory of relativity, but rather than saying god as the other explanation, I look at the holes, see what fits, check my ideas, then put it up for debate. Not lying about the universe.
This is at the heart of a very simple matter.
Scientists who simply accept theories on faith, and do not try and qustion and debate and knock down and improve upon received scientific wisdom...
... are crap scientists.
The very essence of science is to quesiton, to attack, to criticise. All scientific theories are the best we can currently manage, not the best that can be managed full stop, a situation which often confuses those who attack science, who think by pointing out a hole in a theory they have somehow turned science into a faith, whereas in fact science is all about acknowledging and filling in such holes, which in turn expose new holes to be filled in.
At its very base nature, science encourages you to knock down what already stands. In this respect, it is the complete opposite of most major religions.

Explanations for the origin of life: God, An ancestor.
Now come on we all have ancestors, some all animals have changed, and there's evidence that support it.
What evidence is there for God?
