    its all curricular....

    answers only ever lead to more questions.... things change, evolve... bring up yet more questions. i bet you anything Neanderthal man didn't ask questions about space travel or metaphysics! (too busy fighting dinosaurs!)

    No, but that's never going to happen, because the more we learn the more questions we have. There is an infinite amount of knowledge and wisdom to be gained, and once you tap into it's fountain the thirstier you get.

    The incompleteness theorem in mathematics proves that even if one can ask a perfectly valid question there doesn't neccessorily have to be a perfectly valid answer...which means questions can exist without anwers... In other words even if we know everything we can still raise valid questions without answers...

    Yes. One person would ask..."Why the hell did we wanted to find all the answers to to all the question?"

    The thing about learning is that the more 'answers' we learn the more questions we find. There is no possibility of us attaining absolute and total knowledge.

    we will never have all the answers, it is human instinct to question, therefore no matter how hard we try to find all the answers there will always a question left

    Our world is a continuum.... so every answer seems to raise further questions.

    I would never want to know everything. Sounds like hell to me. If there was a god, he really must feel like crap all the time.
