We are too used to the belief that we can never know everything

I believe that Albert Knox is correct to some extent in saying that our ability to wonder is lost as we grow up, in the sense that as we grow up, we come to believe that some things can never be answered properly, such as how the universe came into being. This belief that there is no real proper answer to certain questions then convinces us that if we were to try and find the answer to those unanswerable questions, it would result in stress and simply be a waste of time. Therefore, people stop thinking about these questions and focus on other questions that they know can be answered, as it is human nature to turn away from what people see as unconquerable challenges.
However, our ability to wonder is not completely lost, because even with the unanswerable questions becoming a part of everyday life and being ignored by people as they grow up, there are still always new questions that one may be wondering about. For example, if one day ‘a tiny Martian climbs out of the spacecraft and stands on the ground looking up at you,’ anyone’s natural response would be to wonder about many things related to the Martian, such as whether or not the Martian comes in peace, or why the Martian has chosen to land on this planet. The reason why people would wonder about this is that no one would have ever attempted to answer these kinds of questions before, and therefore it would not be common understanding that these questions can never be answered, which shows that apathy is indirectly linked to the passing down of knowledge and common sense. This is because through education and growing up, we are taught that there are some questions which can never be answered by those older and wiser than us, which we then take for granted and then allow our minds to rest rather than spending the rest of our lives thinking.
Even the concept of there being a ‘God’ could be a result of the passing down of knowledge, simply one that is designed to kill our curiosity and allow us to stop wondering, which is proven by how people could always wonder about how God came into being in the first place. Coincidentally, the idea of God being designed to kill curiosity fits in with how most religious people tend to ignore this question because they do not want to be bothered to think ahead of the idea of God.
