Paul Gardner said, ‘I needed to realize that it was okay to have unanswered questions’, but don’t you think that’s a cop-out?
When science can’t answer something, it keeps at it until it can. Afterall, science is all about ‘finding the answers’.
Is science bigger than God? If anyone’s going to find the answer, don’t you think God is big enough to find it? So when you can’t answer something it makes God look small and John Cleese has a valid point.

Hi Dawn – thanks for your comment. I understood Paul Garner (no “d”) as meaning that it is okay to have questions to which we don’t have the answers now, not that we should give up looking for the answers. But if you think he meant something different, why don’t you ask him?

I think it’s not so much research scientists themselves who express such confidence in an authoritative “view from nowhere”, but the popularisers of science, who have often left research to write books and appear in the media!
