This is an important point. Scientific explanations open up new avenues to
explore. One of the few exceptions has been the "Copenhagen" interpretation
of Quantum Mechanics, which held/holds that the seemingly indeterministic
behavior of subatomic particles is primary; that there IS no explanation for
it. For decades, research was skewed toward other things because too many
scientists believed this dogma. But now, in recent decades, even that has
begun to change. Bohr is gone and some people are beginning to realize that
he did not deserve to win out over Einstein in this issue (Einstein was a
great theoretical physicist, but not such a great metaphysician, so he
couldn't must the right arguments; "God does not play dice with the
Universe" and its variations were not sufficient).
In general, however, science keeps on digging, regardless of what
explanations it has (note that the Copenhagen theory was a DENIAL of further
explanation). Theistic theories are essentially dead ends. God did it, and
that's that. Unless God permits himself to be personally interviewed,
there's not much more to do. The naturalistic approach, upon finding out how
the laws of physics came to be (say), would be to ask, "Well, then, how did
THAT situation come to be?" etc., etc.
