This is completely true! There are things about our universe for which we will never have a scientific answer, and even more things for which we don't now have an answer. Life is full of uncertainty, and if we are honest with ourselves we must acknowledge this. Religions offer answers, but there is no reason to expect that their answers have any validity.
If we take the origin of the universe as an example, there are many things we may observe and infer, but there are theoretical and practical limits to our knowledge. Scientists must admit that the ultimate origin of the universe may never be known. At this point, the only answer we can provide is "we don't know."
Further, science can only be descriptive, not proscriptive. It cannot tell you how to live your life, how to cope with sadness and loss, or how to achieve happiness and satisfaction. Morality cannot be quantified, measured and tested experimentally. However, there are many philosophies throughout the world which attempt to confront these issues without using a god.
