Science draws back the veil, showing us that what we are so sure of is not only more nuanced/complex/uncertain/involved/detailed but also more interesting. Hopefully we feel a bit silly but not too silly.

We love sureness because uncertainty is such a central force in the universe, and it needs a balance. We cannot banish uncertainty. Neither side of this flipping coin is winning any time soon. They are in balance and a kind of highly active harmony.
