what's the the restrictive "blindly search" and not just "search"?

Have to argue with the "blindly" suggestion. It's not a case of not being able to see at all or feeling our way through the world. It's more about the fact our heads are looking one direction and we just can't see 360 degrees to get the whole picture at once, not to mention the fact we're in a very, very, very small part of a big, big, big universe. We're limited in ability, but not incapable of discovery, especially with the assistance of others. We currently reside in a time that benefits from the discoverys of numerous demised forebears who spent their lifetimes asking the "whys?". Yet, we all come into the world ignorant of all of this, bumbling about and having to spend years just to learn everything that came before. During that time we're tended to and nurtured (with any luck) while we incessantly ask, "Why?". We continue to ask the why's to alievate the fears that go along with the unknown and being frightfully alone in our own heads even when we're in a crowded room. Search of knowledge and answers are efforts to know the environment and control the environment to make it less fearful. Religion can fill in the "gaps" (no one assault me on the God of the Gaps argument here because I don't plan to defend it). As for the internal loneliness, Religion is in many ways one of the very few ways of satisfying the need.
Just some humble ramblings.
Good journey.

Cuz we don't actually know a reason that has been proved to the satisfaction of everybody, so the search continues because we are curious to know more about ourselves and what is around us.
I personally wonder why we were born with this curiosity when we havent seemed to discover anything to satisfy it! God's sense of humour perhaps?...

I am not aware that this is what mankind does. Seems to me an awful lot of people with eyes wide open are out there searching in every direction imaginable. Think of it as a life activity.

Scientific knowledge? Thats a little broad.. And religion? Why not.. Wouldnt you like to know whats going to happen after you die? Wouldnt you like to have the cure to diseases which are killing people too early? If were not searching for anything, then whats the point of living?

because without a way of explaining life to ourselves and others it is just a series of events following one another.
the two ways of finding this connection that you mentioned are just two of the most popular overall naratives of the way the world works.

Some people have blind faith. Religion lies in the domain of faith. But searching is a process which is NOT blind, especially having scientific knowledge.

Because as Jean-Paul Sartre said, "we are condemned to be free."
We have a mind and we think. Animals have it so much better, or at least they make it seem so.
