Will we ever be able to answer the question above? Your thoughts are welcome.

This is why the burden of 100% proving something is on the shoulders of the person who makes the assertation. No need to prove God isn't there. If the facts at hand don't support it, there's no reason to entertain the idea at all.
​
I don't agree with this. Why should we accept that we are just alone and that science is the only answer? Our human capabilities clearly have limits. If we are able to comprehend the possiblility of God then it is worthy to be explored.

But our assumptions are likely to be wildly inaccurate in this
case since none of us know the true nature of any god(s).
​
You are contradicting yourself in the same sentence. How can you make an assumption about an assumption? What if our assumptions are accurate? You can't assume that they are inaccurate. That would be making an assumption based on assumption.
