It is not just that in the ever-expanding realm of scientific knowledge the hypothesis of god has not been required to explain anything, ever. It is also that in every case where design seems apparent - and to our human eyes, design appears everywhere - natural processes, alone and unaided, have been shown to be sufficient.
It is not just a god is and gods are not needed, it's that, as an explanation, they are replaced.
Expecting this to continue, after so long and so much knowledge gained, is a reasonable, sensible and conservative position to hold.
This is done as a slight extension of something I wrote last month, as a response to people taking issue with the then widely reported comments by Stephen Hawkings about god. It was done after having some conversations about faith and listening to Carl Sagan talk about how the Universe is not made for us.
