What is an explanation, beyond something that leads us to greater clarity in the face of a mystery? If humans did not have curiosity, we could not perceive the "big picture" as something which needs of an explanation beyond that offered by the senses.
That still does not explain how life is its own explanation, it just goes to why we might seek an explanations.
There are no new supernatural beings that can be proposed which are not variations on something people conceived of many generations ago.
That is very much a belief! And it is a belief that I very much disbelieve. It reminds me of a senator in the early nineteenth century seeking to abolish the patent office because everything that could be invented had been invented.
