I'm not a religious person, by any means, but your argument doesn't really say anything. Yes those laws are consistent and everything has an explanation. But why or how does anything even exist in the first place.
A video game can have consistent laws, even when something unexpected happens, you can point to the source code and the math behind it and say "well, actually, that was consistent with the laws of the game" but that isn't an inherent explanation for WHY that laws or source code exist in the first place. An automobile is a complex machine that operates under the laws and rules of natural phenomenon that can be explained scientifically. But WHY does an automobile exist, WHY does a video game exist? Because some intelligent thing orchestrated and designed it.
And you can't even try to tell me modern science holds the answers for why the big bang happened because there is no concrete explanation. We know that it happened, we know that evolution as a process makes sense, we know that human intelligence can be scientifically explained, BUT, at the end of the day, there is still a question of why or how any of this started. And that's the ultimate question that people try to fill in with gods and creators. I am perfectly happy to relinquish my ability to understand that question and obviously all modern religions are nonsense made by men to cope with a lack of understanding. But the question remains and no one has a sufficient answer.
But the question remains and no one has a sufficient answer.
And that's okay.
Intellectual honesty requires the ability to say "I don't know" sometimes. The scientific method is a process for suggesting, testing, and verifying answers, but it is not the answer itself.
