Interesting. This kind of dont-understand-therefore-fill-in-the-gaps-with-magic is the same mental shortcut that would lead you to believe that cryptocurrency is a good thing.
This is, I fear to tell you, IMPOSSIBLE to explain by other than methaphysics, it is an uncloseable "gap" that humanity will never solve. As far as I know, it's not about gaps, it's more about the unreasonable stance that everything is explainable by reductionist physics that corrupts the modern thinking, it is more safe for you to assume people's religious beliefs come from "gaps" rather from their own rationality. In reality, you just turned science into your own religion.
And as could be seen with the FTX debacle the outcome was basically the same but without helpful government regulations.
