Yes, but similarly, the god of the gaps is pretty hard to ignore.
There will be questions we never will have the answer to, and if you're actually serious about the scientific method as a philosophy, you aren't uncomfortable with "we don't know".
To me, a mysterious universe is more wondrous than "god did it" and yes, I do very much question religious scientists, despite many great scientists being religious.
If you're willing to just believe things "just because" then how can I trust you'll actually apply the scientific method (also a philosophy) reliably?
I can happily coexist and work with mildly religious scientists/engineers, but I would straight up refuse to work with a creationist or someone born again. Religion is anti-scientific.
Religion vs science is not a false dichotomy, despite it being possible to be religious and a scientist at the same time.
Found my new religion.
It's less accepting the uncertainties, and more seeing familiar patterns and constants and wondering of their nature. Why Pi, why 3 visible human dimensions, why the golden ratio in so many flora and fauna, why quark trios.
The scientific answer to many of these is "Nature of the universe, energy minimization dictates, we have Math models", all which are fine answers. But you do still question why those values/patterns compared to others, and the truth is we may never know. If we do, that's amazing(!), but if not, that's probably alright too.
The scientific method answers "How?" questions. It lets us build models of reality - a map of the territory.
"Why?" questions imply intent- requiring an intelligence making a decision. The scientific method does not and cannot answer those questions.
That's why it's fun to ponder them
