1) [Evolution/Biogenesis] If complex organisms evolved from simple organisms, what is the source of the simple organisms?

2) [Abiogenesis] If life derived from non-living substance, what is the source of the non-living substance?

3) [Stellar Hypothesis] If the complexities in the cosmos evolved from the simplicities in the cosmos, what is the source of these simplicities?

4) [Big Bang] If the cosmos derived from some phenomina within the universe, what is the source of the universe?

I do appreciate the abundance of knowledge all these fields of science have granted man. Yet, neither field, (or theory) seems to be able to satisfy the eternal question, What/Who is the source of all?

If you don't have more questions after an experiment than before, you didn't do the experiment correctly. Every discovery opens new avenues of research. So, the plethora of origin hypotheses is not strange.

As we learn more and more about our world and other worlds, we will gain more insight into our origin. Eventually, we may learn enough to answer the question. But it will not be in our lifetime, and probably not this mellinium. We have made only the smallest step toward that answer. And so, there is not enough information to discount any origin hypothesis (except the one in which I created the universe :) ).

Science is a process and method use by humans to find answers that are close to the real truth. Science may never get answers that are the real truth.

If science cannot get us the real answers, but it just gets us the questions. Sometimes, the fun in travelling is the journey, not the destination.

Yes, everything we learn about the universe brings us new questions. Ultimate knowledge is not possible with our finite intellectual grasp. For those who can't deal with the ambiguity, there's religion.
