Now don't confuse the unknown future science has yet to explain as being equal to not knowing anything at all, that is simply flat out crap.
Science is the ONLY tool that can, when used ethically and correctly give us knowledge.
The rest are just competing opinions. Humans are certainly entitled to having them, but scientific method as a tool does not give on care as to what anyone's personal opinion is. Peer review is what settles differences in science, not opinions.
Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I think what Thump means is that scientific knowledge is the -only- kind of knowledge that actually exists, not that it -doesn't- exist. This might just be a misunderstanding.
Yea well then if I can be confused by what he said, then most certainly theists will do far worse misunderstanding him. Your simple summery seems like me and Thump are on the same page. Yes scientific knowledge is te only kind of knowledge that actually exists, so don't get the other stuff he was saying.
