You have a few choices. You can work on the problem yourself. You can learn as much as possible about the issues involved, and try to solve the problems that you have. It involves work, and you may not be up for actually solving anything. But you can try.
Or you could pretend that you know things that you don't know, and try to convince yourself of some BS nonsense. Many people take that approach to questions to which they do not know the answer. It is intellectually dishonest, but many people seem to want to take this option.
Or you can get over the fact that there are countless things you will never know. Right now, you don't know what I had for breakfast this morning. And it is something you will never know. My guess is, you are okay with not knowing what I had for breakfast. If you take that attitude with other things that you do not and can not know, you will be okay, and you won't be intellectually dishonest, and you don't have to do any work.
I personally am fine with not knowing how the universe got started, or even if it got started. I don't need to know that. What is useful for me to know are things like which wine to buy at the store, and I have some ideas on that subject.
