You'll never find wisdom if your goal is to "understand everything". No matter how much we understand about the universe, about nature, about ourselves, we only scratch the surface.
Further, the fact that humanity lacks understanding of some phenomena doesn't make that phenomena impossible, nor does it mean that an explanation can't exist. Until quantum mechanics came around, nobody could explain how the sun could undergo fusion. Under newtonian mechanics, the sun is hundreds of times too cold for fusion -- the average kinetic energy of a hydrogen ion can't even come close to overcoming the electrostatic barrier preventing ions from coming close enough to fuse.
But simply because we couldn't explain why the sun could undergo fusion doesn't mean there WASN'T an explanation. We just didn't know it.
Re: Question about atheists
>>I'm just wondering. If you don't believe in a God, what do you guys/girls believe?
Evolution, that were here, $$$$ happens.
>>What do you think happens when you die?
I'll decompose.
>>Do you think you're gone without the ability to even think?
Bug food cant think.
>>I just wonder, because without religion to fill in the holes the scientists leave in their theories, it seems that everything would be impossible. For one example, gravity. How was gravity created?
Dunno, try not to think too hard. Theres some answers that need to be left untouched.
The bible dates the planet to a certain time period, i dont member its exact i dont study the bible. The problem with this date is this: Its after dinasours. (spelling)
