[The_voice_of_reason]

You say that the search is important but what is the point of a search? It is to eventually find something, but what if the thing we search for can be found? To continue the search we have to convince ourselves that we are looking for something that can't be found, so saying "I don't know" would be admitting that we should give up the search. "I don't know" would destroy not only some of the more theoretical sciences (cosmology, theoretical physics etc) but religion as well since religion is seeking to attain knowledge of the unknowable.


edit: changed "can't be found" to "can be found"
