If time is relative, then how do you know living out the preface of an infinite adventure is enough of anything?

Most of my hopes are based on reality. For example, I hope that my family likes their Christmas gifts. That hope is based on the fact that I bought them Christmas gifts-a reality. It would be absurd for me to hope that they like gifts that I wanted to magically appear in my house with no effort from me to go get them. That is the difference between my form of hope and a religious person's. I hope for things that have a reasonable-even if it is slight-chance of coming true.
We as a people can admit we don't have the full scope of 'reality' so then how can you base your life off of what is real? At best all you can do is live for what you can see/experience from your little corner of existence. This is how Carl and Ann lived.
Dirch what will you do if science figures out most of the important questions in your life time including reality. And that science puts the nail in the coffin of gods existence because that day will come. And what are you going to do?
