Until then, we should not commit to one answer over any other, just because we were taught to believe in it as kids.
Maybe that is why Jesus said this:
Mat 18:3 and said, "Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.
In other words, "stop thinking for yourselves and I'll let you into 'paradise' and worship me forever"
Jesus also reputedly said that you have to hate your family before you can be one of his followers. I say "reputedly" because there's no actual evidence for his existence.

It is the people who said "we don't know yet, but we are working on it" who found many of those answers, as opposed to the people who decided that god must have done it and that to continue to search was in vain.
It seems to me that if there is one search that has been in vain, it is the search for god, who is always jussssst about to appear on the scene and show us what we've been missing, but never actually ever arrives.
Dear friend,
No, sir, it is not vain to search for God.
Jer_29:13 You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart.
