I think you make very good points about the fool's errand nature of the search. But to that, I'd argue that the middle ground is that God wants His existence to remain abiguous and, as such, the world can have mysteries and uncertainties that we'll never solve for certain.

First thing, let me say thanks for your posts. They're a breath of fresh air. Philosophically, I would disagree that the Lord wants to remain ambiguous. It is just that science isn't going to reveal the Creator's purpose. To be clear, the fool's errand is to try to use science when the search for the Creator's purpose involves intangibles such as faith. I'm not saying looking for meaning is a fool's errand, and I'm not saying that proving to one's self that the Creator exists is a fool's errand. It is just that science is the *wrong tool* for the job.
