The world that humans are born into is vast, full of complexity, and
so much that is unknown and unknowable. Even the greatest human minds
are not able to grasp and comprehend its vastness and complexity.

Humans have a range of possible responses to this inadequacy of the
mind to fully comprehend the world it has been born into. Among
them are awe/humility and fear/denial. Belief systems, including
religion, play an important part in this.

I would like to read more about this. What Internet resources point to
expert work done on this human condtion and the various human
responses to it?
