There are people who are contented with
not knowing the answers to the hard questions but believing (or having faith if you will) anyway. There are people who not knowing the answers to the hard questions, or at least not being able to make some sense out of the conundrum, is too much of a stumbling block to believe or have faith. We are a world of different people. If there is a creator God of the nature described by some it follows that he at least allowed humans to be a varied species. Maybe he enjoys those differences. I do agree that knowing everything that was, is or will be is rather a boring situation. Words such as mystery, intrigue, anticipation of discovery, wonder . . . they would probably not exist for the all-knowing. I don't think I would care for that kind of existence very much.
