Doesn’t with every scientific exploration* humans realize that it has expanded the level of the unknown** to enormous proportions?

Yes, often the more you know, the more you realise you don't know. You often have to know quite a lot about a subject before you realise there is so much that you don't know.

Expanding the level of the unknown is a result of expanding knowledge.

It's not a bad thing.

Yes, but of course we also continue to answer previously un-answered questions :)

Unclear.

The intent may be to hint that we will ultimately have less doubts in our lives if we choose dogma over scientific knowledge.

I don't believe in anyd superstitious dogma. I take guidance from Revelation in ethical, moral and spiritual matters and in the secular, temporal and physical/material matters I go with science. No superstitious dogma, please

I don't believe in anyd superstitious dogma.
As an aside, it seems that no one ever says that while being convincing.

Revelation is dogma, at least until and unless it becomes irrelevant as a "source of truth".

That is almost mathematically demonstrable, even.

Yes, we've always been ignorant and we're only just starting to realize how ignorant we are. The absence of knowledge does tell us something essential. Into the void enter imagination, but we must be careful not to jump to conclusions. I'm having fun! Aren't you?

Is Mathematics the only source to measure truthness or otherwise of Truth?
Is that what one believes? Please
Truth is not dependable on Mathematics.

Paarusurrey, in English, we would most likely say something along these lines to get at the same point you seem to be attempting to make here: "Isn't it true that, with every scientific discovery, we humans also discover we are even more ignorant than we previously thought?" I think that's a fair paraphrase of your point. Correct me if I'm wrong.
