We hardcore materialists believe that there are no unknowable unknowns worth considering.

OTOH, I know you would not pursue any unknowable unknown worth considering. I presume you wouldn't even know that you didn't know.

Aye, but the religious are in that boat, too. The key difference lies in our treatment of the knowable unknown: how did the physical universe develop, how does the machinery of life work, how does the brain perform the act of consciousness, how do particles come to have the masses they do...
