It's a mark of ignorance to me to say that we will one day know everything there is to know. A big discovery in science doesn't simply an answer a burning question we've asked for a long time, it can often open the door to a whole knew field of inquiry to pursue, and I have no reason to think that this won't hold into the future.
Must we know everything?
I think a sentiment similar to this is what drives a lot of people into the sciences to discover new things about life, the planet and the universe. It's the human obsession with explaining the world we live in. Luckily for us, we discovered the scientific method so we could stop fooling ourselves into explanations that weren't or aren't true.
