Gregory Treverton and Malcolm Gladwell have some excellent writings on the difference between puzzles and mysteries.

Puzzles are solved by gathering and assimilating all relevant data. Mysteries remain unsolved until all relevant data are analyzed and interpreted.

The origin of the universe is a puzzle.

Why people spend precious time trying to convince themselves that they know the origin of the universe is a mystery.

Why some people think knowing the origin of the universe matters is culturally specific.

Buddhists say the origin is undefined--like division by zero. Knowing one way or the other does not matter.

So you argue that if we have any position on any matter, it doesn’t matter what it is, that is okay because no one is really wrong? What a strange, absolute opinion that is!
How can you be so close, yet still so far off at the same time?

Since you don’t spell out what is close and far away, all you do is say you’re wrong, you’re not attempting to correct or discuss, only point and say you’re wrong. Why bother?
