Human Need for Knowledge, A Different Light

Humans have an insatiable need for answers. Most of us cannot function without an explanation of occurrences, ideas, and concepts that continually occur around us daily.
whether it be the belief in God or gods, the struggle for information in science, or the consistent following of superstition, there is always a push for proof.
This concept was ever-present in the Renaissance era, as people were always finding scapegoats in faeries, witches, hobgoblins, God, Satan, and any other supernatural support they could find. Sins were justified or set aside because they occurred for a reason. Lusty widows were said to be evil, being witches or sorceresses. At the same time, people accused mental retardation and things of the like to be the result of "changelings" or faerie children being exchanged with human children.
Modernly, this need continues, and in exactly the same categories as before. There is always someone to blame, there is always an answer, and when a logical explanation cannot be found, we create one.
As before, the study of the planet and stars are also a place of comfort for those of us wishing to know our fates and our futures, striving to find a way to explain the tides and their actions, the yearly adjustments of our crops, and the changing of our moods.
Any of these theories can be supported and understood by many logical explanations, but the fascination lies in the human "need" for such things.
It is my belief that we will continually question the unanswerable, and due to our impatience and demand for knowledge, we will place fillers in for each answer we don't find.
If God does exist, I can't imagine His thoughts about the theories that we create in order to pacify our minds.
