i have forgotten nothing. given an infinite amount of time, we might very well be able to understand the infinite number of things we do not now understand. of course we don't have all of eternity to make those discoveries and will have to satisfy ourselves with the little time we have, but in order to understand anything we must first be willing to start the search. blind belief in that sentient "greater power" admits defeat before we even begin. most all deities have that one thing in common, their ways are mysterious and unknowable by their very nature. admitting to that unknowable force is the first step in blinding ourselves to what is knowable - everything.

Science is always speaking of something new or unknown that the are on the verge of discovering. What does that discovery do? It makes them realize that their is another variable they forgot to put in the "equation" of the universe you know, then they look for a new thing to say is creating theses forces or acts. It is a merry go round there is never a end.
it seems you understand it, but the blinders of faith will not allow you to appreciate a very simple truth - there is never an end to discovery. with each new bit of understanding more questions reveal themselves. there is no final solution as there is to be found in religion, no simple answer to end all questions. that is the nature of scientific inquiry.
