I am not sure that religion is "about" trying to explain the universe and how it works. I definitely think that is part of it......I mean we as children of God need some reference points. I do think that God has given us what we need to know to get started. I don't think that He wants us to stop asking questions and in my view, I don't see that science and religion are that different. I think God understands all the laws of nature and the universe and I think he is the master scientist of all. But He is also a father and he is trying to raise his children by teaching them and even commanding them to live by certain laws. Sometimes he tells us why. Sometimes he allows us to grow by not giving us all the detailed answers. It's more about faith, and the truth that is revealed after ones faith is tested, more than it is about complete explanations. If you can understand for a minute the mind of a mormon, you would see also that God is waiting to reveal more about the universe and how it works. He has given a little more to our modern prophets, but that knowledge is linked to our obedience. Obedience unlocks the doors to such knowledge.

Yes. Exactly.
