Are we sure we are the experts?

We has humans yearn to know the unknown. We do our best to rationalize what we cannot understand. Who are we to say that we know everything or that we are even capable of knowing everything? Is it too much to say that there are some things we will never know or will never be capable of knowing? And if we acknowledge that we are not experts, is it too much to say that perhaps there is an expert?

A.W. Tozer says that, "the yearning to know what cannot be known, to comprehend the incomprehensible ... arises from the image of God in the nature of man ... the soul senses its origin and longs to return to its source. 

Even scientists agree that at some point in time what we know didn't exist. At some point the matter from which we all came from had to be created, unless it exists infinitely. But we all know that matter can be destroyed, but energy can be transferred. If energy has been continuously transferred from the beginning of time, where was the energy originally generated? If we are to say that this energy has always existed is it a far stretch to say that there is an expert who has always existed?

Just another thought to consider.
