It's a problem because actually we can explain everything, given enough time. There are few things that the learned of the world aren't fairly certain about, and with more observation and data (like Twilight's collecting data) we will be able to explain the so-far unexplainable too.

The moral of this episode suggests that, rather than pursue knowledge on the matter, we should simply blindly accept that we will never know the answer (which, in the real world, has NEVER proven to be the case and is a very bad way of thinking).

Obviously this wasn't what the creators intended, and perhaps they didn't think through what the message would mean to people in the given context, but it still stands that this is very bad way of teaching viewers (especially children) to think rationally.

However you are right that this doesn't at all immediately mean it concerns religion; it's any way of thinking really.
