I think it's worth noting that science can never have all the answers because no matter what science comes up with, one can always ask "why?" about that finding. The day may come when all the whys we can answer with science are answered.

Yeah, i guess i could just say that everything just "is" I dont believe in any sort of religion so that rules out god for me. It just angers me that theres so many coincidences in the world and so many crazy things that happen that it seems that there has to be something that is conrolling it all and I want to find it! my goal in life is to find out what started everything. But that won't happen..haha. Once that day comes that there is an answer..everything will be chaos..half of the people proabbyl wont believe it(but the human race will probably be long gone by that time anyways)and once its known and the chaos is gone..it will jsut be a state of nowness..everything will just keep getting a little easier to do and nothing will really change it will all jsut be and there will never be anything new to learn becuase it will all be known

You may be overestimating how much of an impact it will have. Knowing how it happened will neither change whether it happened, nor permit it to happen again. If the knowledge is comprehensible to most people, they will smile and say "That's nice", and seldom think of it after that.
