The science is there, the logic is there, the way the world works is there. Just because we can't comprehend it yet doesn't mean it's not there. Tell them "You think 2 plus 2 didn't equal 4 simply because humans hadn't invented math yet? Did oxygen not exist before we knew what it was?"

How do you know whether there is any absolute limit to propagation of information such that it is physically impossible for science to even detect everything that may need explaining, much less actually explain them?

It appears modern cosmology implies some serious, perhaps insurmountable,  hurdles to propagation of information from much of the product of the Big Bang to the likely small portion of it that had ever communicated with even smaller part we can detect now.
