I could rephrase it slightly.

Our need for certainty and predictable outcomes is a biological imperative imbued in us by our creator as a method of survival. But wanting certainty does not mean all is and can be certain just because it makes us more comfortable.

Better.

Drop the "method of survival" part.

But wanting certainty does not mean all is and can be certain just because it makes us more comfortable.

Are you suggesting the desire for certainty/truth is an illusion ?

Don't be shy, many deep thinkers have suggested this before.

No.

Not suggested, implied or insinuated.
