The only thing we know is that we don't know - and that complete knowledge comes only through Faith .
Seeing into intricacies of creation appropriately brings about natural feelings of wonder and astonishment.
It also frequently brings about profound arrogance through erroneously assuming that the act of seeing is akin to the act of creation, thereby making the viewer the creator and maker of the universe.

"and that complete knowledge comes only through Faith ." actually that contradicts the definition of faith IMO faith is a belief without knowledge:
faith (fth) KEY
NOUN:
Belief that does not rest on logical proof or material evidence. See Synonyms at belief, trust.
