This is perhaps the most balanced thing I have found to start you off. Beware, it contains content from Rupert Sheldrake, a figure who if you're not familiar with, ruffles the feathers of skeptics everywhere.

I like that you bring up that there are some sciences that are more quantify than others. I use this 'i don't know anything for sure' attitude to remain open to possibilities that fall outside what science

You mention jumping on the bandwagon. You might enjoy the following section of this book talking about the bandwagon effect in science. It partially answers the question you had about the speed of light

On god in general, I personally like Carl Sagan's stance of approaching these matters with a respectful tone instead of taking a position of ridicule. Though I've only seen the film, I also love the ending

For instance, the likelihood of the laws of physics we have discovered so far to be correct even if incomplete is quite high as we have gathered piles upon piles of evidence that clearly point in a certain
