I think this is what's made science even more credibly; it hasn't "created" more questions, it's uncovered them so we can explore and hopefully uncover them at a later date.

That's one of my biggest troubles with explanations with god, we always use dieties to explain what science cannot. Then when science finally can explain it, we move up to the next level of stuff we haven't figured out yet.

History has shown again and again that it was when we stopped doing this and went against the status quo, the socially acceptable supersticions, that we made our greatest strides in understanding the physical world for what it really is.
