I'm in the medical field...
The more I know the more I discover how little we actually know.
With each layer peeled back there is another layer of complexity...
So I hear. With cell motility, what moves the cell? On any given level of observation, we are continually led on to another anterior cause.
Profound truth, indeed!

I recently ran across my senior-year [1955, if you must ask... <grin>] high school yearbook, and found this recorded for posterity as my "Philosophy of Life":
"As man increases the radius
of the circle of his knowledge,
he expands by a factor of 2Pi
the circumference upon which
he touches his ignorance..."
As a physical scientist, who never tires of the thrill of discovery, I have often reveled in that relationship as "the joy of scientific exploration".
As a Christian, with personal, experiential knowledge of God the Creator, I observe that far too many of my brethren -- at the very deepest core of their belief systems -- fear that selfsame relationship as "the sin of reaching for too much worldly knowledge".

And, it is that profound diffence in viewpoints, I despair, that fuels many of these "CREVO" threads...
