We may be on the verge of another paradigm shift. There are chasms between the different religions and between science and religion. Science's theories and models are self-contained and don't conflict with religion. Stories have meaning to help us determine how we should live. As knowledge expands, so do the boundaries of the unknown.
New questions come from the answers to old ones.
We belong to the universe and have to explain ourselves and our experience of the universe. The observable universe only includes light from places that light is reaching us from, i.e. 30 billion light years, radius of 15 billion light years. Beginning of our observation and explanation is within the observable universe. To measure is to compare to something we know. Base measurements of universe on size of the earth.
