To say we understand the points we have theories on is a stretch, because scientists are constantly working on new theories that will totally obsolete the old ones. I don't understand why you're apprehensive about science though? Everything has limits, even the Bible has limits.
I better respond to this before others see it and skin you alive lol. I am not apprehensive about science oddly enough its my favourite subject and even more odd I love the physics even though I can't understand half the stuff as my knowledge of physics and maths wont do. But present day physics is going so deep into things and the more they find the more wonder I find in the Universe; i can now have a sense of wonder in what I can't see from earth. But in my mind science and religion are not mutually exclusive at least not for me and I would make an educated guess not for a large amount of Christians. But if Athiests claim that they arrive at or hold their position based on logic and science it would be kind of dumb for me not to explore that to see what it is they find compelling there and see if I can at least challenge that in time but even if I can't at least I will have a better understanding than I did before about their position. As well as that Just because they have some good cards in this end of the debate doesn't mean we don't either and if i don't look how can I find.
