Agreed. Not now, maybe not ever.
Our ability to ask questions far outstrips our ability to answer them; or even to recognise whether they are coherent questions. There may simply be no answer because the question is malformed.
There seems to be an associated discomfort in a lot of people with this discrepancy, which religion is quick to cash in on with its quick-fix answers. "I don't know" is perfectly acceptable to me, and causes no problems.
