My point was simply that when neither of us can answer the most fundamental questions about our existence, we ought not to be too cavalier in dismissing anyone else's explanations

That doesn't make sense. If an explanation made sense to someone they would obviously not dismiss it; they would use it as their answer. To suggest that one should not dismiss answers they have dismissed is bizarre. What do you expect is the intelligent thing to do once one has judged an explanation as inadequate? Embrace it?
