I tend to see it from another angle, one that I believe compliments your initial point. It's this dissatisfaction you speak of that drives our species into the cosmos to seek out the answers to the unknown. Our curiosity demands it, logic dictates it. On this planet, godly dogma is numerous, abstract and unassured without blind leaps of faith that have often crumbled under the tests of time. These men have no need to seek answers, for they are already assured of their answers. And yet, their teams are numerous and that large black void of space continues to expand with her infinite questions on offer. No man can claim to have the answers to the gods or the cosmos with objective certainty yet. However, I think we should be praising the humans who are actually seeking the data and filling in the gaps to the best of our ability in the meantime.
