The problem to be solved is for society to recognize the irrational, illogical and arrogant intellectual ignorance in the secular humanist belief that all is knowable to us.

Our own experience in scientific research keeps demonstrating the opposite of the secular humanists ignorant arrogance.

Everytime we make progress, scientifically, whether just here on earth, or in physics, or exploring the cosmos, each achievement reveals an even wider window of more and deeper questions than our initial question knew was possible.

G-d’s universe is like an infinite onion with layers we can never reach, no matter how many layers we can identify. It is arrogant folly to believe we can understand it all.

True enough... Trying to frame a life with mere science leaves a barrenness that is a vulnerable point to shattering that life.

I was more focused on the goal of their social engineering (secularism) rather than the means (modelling) but your comment really puts the two together. Their faith in modelling (which is essentially a reduction of the complexity of the universe into a simplistic cartoon) is directly connected to their embrace of secularism.

I always like to think of it like a beautiful museum with an infinite number of rooms.

"For the scientist who has lived by his faith in the power of reason, the story ends like a bad dream. He has scaled the mountain of ignorance; he is about to conquer the highest peak; as he pulls himself over the final rock, he is greeted by a band of theologians who have been sitting there for centuries." ― Robert Jastrow, God and the Astronomers
