True. There will always be a practical limit to our ability to understand the universe. But that doesn't mean we should abandon science - the extremely elegant science, supported by every single piece of evidence in existence - and start casting about for gods or demons or giant space-turtles to fill the gaps.

I definitely do not thing we should abandon science. I don't mean to imply that just because something doesn't make sense it's not true.

... but you do mean to imply that the Standard Model doesn't make sense?

I'm sorry if I'm putting words in your mouth, but that's the way I read it, and I'd rather clear up any misunderstandings or confusion, rather than assuming.
