I disagree with you.

To say there are things of which we are ignorant is just a statement of fact. 

To assume that we are sure to learn everything is an unwarranted assumption. 

If I were claiming that because there are gaps the supernatural must exist, that would be an argument from ignorance. But that is very much NOT what I'm saying.

Then I’m not sure what you’re saying. I’m sorry.

Wiser words were never spoken.
