Notice how I have carefully edited Ricardo's critique below:

RON (mimicking Ricardo)
   That most of humanity in the twentieth century thought that science 
held all the answers to ultimate questions is understandable. I could 
have reached the same conclusion. But they were wrong. No matter. Many 
people today believe that science can explain the ultimate reason for 
everything. Why, I don't know. Revelation, both Christian and 
non-Christian, teaches us that God designed, created, and sustains the 
universe. Astronomy only reveals what finite beings can observe with 
their limited physical senses; an enormous universe.  Quantum mechanics 
shows us that many facts need causes. General relativity predicts a 
singularity (the Big Bang) beyond which science, with its limited scope, 
cannot go. An ultimate cause cannot be disproven. The more we know about 
the universe, the more we discover we don't know.  Blind faith is needed 
to believe and conclude absolutely that this is an accidental world. 
Some people wish to exclude God from their paradigm of reality for 
various reasons, perhaps they comfort themselves with the belief that 
nothing is required of them. And they do. But ultimately they cannot 
explain the existence of the universe. And they most certainly have not 
disproven the existence of God. They have only limited their search to 
the extremely finite area observable by their physical senses.
