Agreed... these are very difficult questions... and following some dogmatic position based on one supposedly knowing "truth" in such matters is not helpful. The ego is an interesting human function... deciding to "know the truth" on a given topic makes one feel "more whole" or "more powerful" somehow. The more people think they 'know', the more opinionated, the more "prideful", "boastful", and dare I say dangerous they are. From earlier post by Hitchens: "This is what the Republican Party has done to us this year: It has placed within reach of the Oval Office a woman who is a religious fanatic and a proud, boastful ignoramus.
