The problem is that youre essentially making God in the image of man to justify man. We are plagued by seemingly unanswerable questions but if they were all answered what would be the point in thinking at all? The ultimate satisfaction would quickly become ultimate boredom. The reason why thinking is valuable is because it never ends, it continues to hit walls, paradoxes, contradictions and continues to struggle. If there were a point of resolution everything would collapse into undifferentiable nothingness, and the fate you seem to fear would be inevitable. Becoming one with God would be dissolving into absolute nothingness, which is pretty much the atheist conception too.
