It's a cop-out for seeking the truth. Accepting falsehood!
We may not know ... but we do not fill in the gaps with crap!
You can always leave a little door open and classify it as “pending”… besides, how do you handle conjectures?
I don't think it boils down to mathematics ... and this is where you theoreticians have sabotaged reality.
It is about past and present, provable and mutable.
If it exists in the known reality, perhaps that is really all there is to it.
Why should there be more?
Who said we had to be happy and satisfied?
There is DNA and life and death and re-cycling of molecules and nothing more!

If and when man explores and takes control of the cosmos we can make any declarations we want but until that time comes if ever, surely we’ve got to show a little humility…
Yes, humility.
In my mind that means accepting we are nothing more than a bag of recyclable chemicals, self-catalytic, without the need for an intervening higher being!
That is humility!
...... Not expecting some higher being, to watch over us, direct us, give us moral guidance ... what fairy tales! ... and above all, pure absolving of responsibility!
