I have no problem whatsoever with scientific progress, and you won't find a post of mine anywhere where I take a position which even remotely suggests otherwise.
The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science.
Albert Einstein, What I Believe
As long as the brain is a mystery,
The universe will also be a mystery

Subjective existence, baby. Why is there something rather than nothing? How did we get here? Those are the only "scientific problems" that count. We are no closer to solving them than was Plato.
Is it possible that humans are "intrinsically" unable to fathom the true secrets of the universe? For instance, is it possible that time is somehow the fourth dimension, and that we are as blind as flatlanders attemptingto understand that which we can never comprehend?
This possibility will be aggressively dismissed, as it leaves those without faith with nothing...
