Let think about things around us and ponder:-
How does a plant grow with no organs or blood?
We know exactly how plants grow without organs or blood! Its called photosynthesis. Learn Science
How does a computer microchip work?
We know exactly how a computer chips works, humans bloody devised the dam things. Lerarn Science and Engineering
How does a plane stay in the sky?
We know exactly how a plane stays in the sky. Learn Science and Engineering!
How does something as heavy as a ship stay afloat?
Again we know, Learn Science and engineering
How can you text someone 12,000 miles away and get an instant reply?
Easily done, and has been for years. Science and engineering has the answers for you
How does the human brain work in co-ordination with the eye?
Neuroscientist has made great advances in all areas, we know a great deal about how the Brain and eyes co-ordinate to predict movements. Lots of good papers online and Cardiff University has lots of public lectures on differeing topics.
The above list could go on & on as we take for granted things around us, but, for every question there are Professors, Scientists, teachers & alike who can explain computers, satellites & gravity etc.
The one thing, however, that no living being can ever explain or certainly prove, is how we all got here. Contrast that with how it all ends and there lies 2 unanswerable conundrums.
We can prove certain events for sure, we can go back to milliseconds after the start of our universe. We know the stuff all living organisms on this globe was forged in dying stars, as Baloo said we are literally stardust, this is a fact. We know evolution is a fact, we know humans have a comment ancestor, we all came from modern day Africa. Science can't answer the question how did the universe start, but thats not to say the answer is not there, and it won't stop science for looking for it.
So, by the fact that we can't begin to understand the beginning, should we be so dismissive about the end?
As I said we understand a great deal about the beginning.
Maybe, just maybe, the magic continues?
