Oh? You're telling me there is a physical process to explain everything we don't understand? If they can't find one then it doesn't happen? I'd say research is to find out if there is a physical process to explain what we don't understand.

They've figured out the whole sperm, egg, cell divide thing.... how the body mechanically functions, converts fuel to energy, etc. Lots of hows, but a lot less whys.

There is a good chance many whys many never get past the theory stage, but I'm not buying rational thought is nothing more than random electro chemical reactions. That may be the how but not the why.
