Unknowables are part of the human condition - we are not able to remove ourselves from "all that there is" to observe it "all at once." The human observer is part of his observation. We cannot physically sense how fast we moving, relativistic time, cosmos to quantum proportions. Jeepers we cannot see inside a closed box much less know what the other guy is thinking. We cannot even physically sense the present since time elapses between sense and cognition.
Only God sees "all that there is" all at once - every where and every when, every one and every thing.
Only God knows objective truth. Only He speaks objective truth. Indeed, He is Truth for when He says a thing, it is. It is because he says it.
Let all the earth fear the LORD: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him. For he spake, and it was [done]; he commanded, and it stood fast. - Psalms 33:8-9
Merv should not be concerned about the gaps but take comfort in the big why, i.e. why this instead of nothing at all?
God's Name is I AM.
