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.

"..no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end." Ecclesiastes 3:11.

"The Lord knows the thoughts of men, that they are but a puff of wind." Psalm 94:11.

"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.

Now there is a sentence just begging for an "IMHO".
