There is so much that we don't know, and so much we completely fail to understand, and I wonder if in 50, 100, 200 years we'll still be looking for answers. Which makes me think that some things simply can't be explained without a faith in the supernatural.

You can't explain something by believing in something. By doing that you just come up with your own little story for it, not an actual feasible explanation.
Just because we don't understand something doesn't mean we should try to make something up to cover the gap. We don't understand how the universe works. Sure we've identified a lot of things, theorized about the stuff we found but we have no clue how it all goes together.
Coming along and saying: "You don't understand that, so it must be god." is what they did 2000 years ago when the bible was first written. There was a sky, a sun, a moon, light, darkness, good and evil and people had no idea where all those things came from, how they worked or how they could be manipulated.
Today we know that the sky is not the limit and that there is a whole universe behind that sky. We know the sun isn't a magical source of light, it's a very bright star/planet just like our own. Darkness is the absence of light and good and evil are simply a person's nature, possibly in someone's genes.
I don't understand why you would want to patch up a gap in our knowledge with god. Is it not much better to say; "we do not understand this but we are going to find out."? At least that way we keep discovering new things. Placing god in every gap we don't understand will keep us stationary and dumb, because we assume we already have an explanation for everything. It's not the way to go.
The video actually makes some very good points in my opinion.
