@Maravilla: I find that rather silly and somewhat intellectually restraining. How does making up an simple silly non-answer (Not much different from "magical guy in clouds did it") when you can't actually understand or find a proper answer supported with empirical data really help?
I know people want answers and understand the world, but sometimes we just have to say "I don't understand" or "We don't know". I think it's quite unhealthy trying to plug these gaps with made up "answers" (and even silly, to try answer a mystery with an even bigger mystery), because often when people do that, they stop trying and looking for the actual answer.

I love creativity and creating, I love science and rational thought, I am an open atheist and avid self-learner.
