True, just because we don't know doesn't make it unknowable.  

I'll happily believe something until someone points out that it's wrong (and
has a good case).  I guess I'm supposed to go on believing...

It's a bit like the continental drift theory that came up a while back.
Nutter comes up with theory, gets ignored, eventually gets his case across,
everyone say 'fair enough', books get re-written, and now we wait for the
next nutter.  I'm not sure it counts as belief if you change your mind.
