I'm no Christian, but I have to say that I don't understand the arrogance of science.

The entire Universe is only 2% of the reality we know of (which includes dark matter and dark energy). Considering how very little we know of the Universe, it doesn't make any sense to proclaim scientific victory at this point.

It would seem you're not alone:

I have on my desk an impressive collection of scientific articles by prominent biologists, titled Origination of Organismal Form. The Introduction describes organismal form as the “forgotten cause in evolutionary theory,” which is a bit like saying that gravity is the forgotten cause in physics. The editors go on to describe many open questions, which amount in toto to an acknowledgment that nothing much is known about how the forms of organisms originate. A perceptive critic observed long ago that “Darwin explained the survival of species but not the arrival of species.”

It makes, perfect sense, if one considers themselves to be an ape. The science primarily practiced during the past 100 years, is more accurately described as 'political science'. In other words, 'ignorance has been bliss'.
