It seems that just when we get arrogant enough to think we about have it figured out, God throws us a curve.

I agree. Some people never seem to learn.

And some people never seem learn from thier mistake in assuming that if we can't explain everything RIGHT NOW then there must be some supernatural force at work. In my exeperience its the fundementalists that are far more arrogant that the scientists. Most scientists will tell you that they know very little about all there is to know about the universe. Scientists are more willing to admit when their wrong and when they can't explain something. Its the fundamentalists who always have an answer(usually wrong) for everything. I'm sorry I just couldn't allow your bashing of the scientific method to go uncontested.

Dear Keeper of the Bunsen Burner:

I really don't want to get into an argument here, but my "pun" was not "bashing the scientific method." I was just pointing out that the more man thinks he knows, the less he understands. I'm sure your scientists would agree that there are more secrets in the universe and beyond, no matter the size, than they will ever be able to reveal.

I find your use of the word "fundamental" to be quite appropriate; I simply think you've mis-assigned it.
