Several hundred years ago the state of medical science had no consistent explanation for the higher rate of mortality amongst women who came to the hospital to give birth as against who women who gave birth at home. The link between germs and disease was not yet established. Distinguished consultants fresh from autopsies on diseased corpses would thrust their unwashed hands upon pregnant women. The women mostly fell ill and many, many died. The cream of the medical profession pontificated about "miasmas" and "humors" amongst other probable causes. Dwell on that a minute, for even today you have met such pomposities, brimming with knowledge and self-belief.
Fast forward to now, our science laughs at their "ignorance".
1000 years ago, the wisest and most learned of the time could not envisage air travel between continents - indeed they had no concept of continents. We laugh at the science of that time because we know so much now, and our scientists have explained that it all started with "a singularity of infinite mass which started expanding". OK.
What are the odds that 1000 years from now, the ideas we have now would not seem quaint? Indeed they could have interstellar travel then which we can't envisage now - as our forebears 1000 years ago could not envisage life now. Certainly, 1000 years from now, they will laugh at our science.
So why do we think now that Science gives us all the answers, and there is no God? A millennium hence, our mastery of Physics, Chemistry, Biology, our environment, will be immeasurably greater than now. We might even be able to count the grains of sand on the beach, which is a biblical metaphor for insufficient understanding, but we will still be unable to rationalize the nature of God.
God is faith. God is true meaning, which science with successively "better" explanations which displace each other, is not.
So know that you do not know, and there is an explanation for all, that is beyond your ken. That is God. Abandon your self-importance in your "knowledge", and understand that you are less than a pin prick in the continuum of time.
God is all.
