That's the point: I don't know, they don't know, and you don't know. In other words, we don't know and we can't know.

I am certain of one thing... creation is something that has to be caused it can't happen by accident because of particles bumping into each other.
I'm glad you're certain, because I'm not. You see, we have know way of knowing.

Not believing in God or a higher power if you will is fine... just cause you personally don't believe it doesn't mean its not there or does not exist. This is going to sound incredibly arrogant but, I'm going to say it anyway...
Unfortunately the opposite is also true: just because you believe it doesn't make it so.

Science does not have all the answers. And yes... there are limits to what can be achieved.
That's the point of science: it's about finding out what can be explained, not worrying about what can't. Science doesn't pretend to have all the answers. That's religion's job.

And once again, we don't know if there are limits to what can be achieved unless we try to find them. And even if there are, we don't know what those limits are unless we test them.
