It was the drive to know the unknown, it was the passion of a few people to not taking things for granted, that created the knowledge base human race now possesses. The understanding of the universe is yet incomplete, but we do have a better grasp than before on it. So, claiming that things are much more esoteric and enigmatic would not be correct.
When the human race was young, just started to use the nature better on their advantage, did not have any explanation of the natural phenomena. The mere rise and set of sun and moon was mysterious for them. They tried to explain it, and the movements of other planetary objects. Geocentric model was proposed, the mystery was solved partially. Then came the Haliocentric model, which could explain those movements flawlessly. That enigma was over.
There was a time when people did not know how thunderstorm happens, why and what is it made of. It was mysterious. Now we know why this happens and how.
What consists matter? Different theories attempted to explain that too. When this question first appeared in human mind, they were not equipped with necessary domain knowledge and technology that was necessary to grasp it. Later people did explain it, they now know about electrons, protons, neutrons and diving deeper, quarks.
One could argue that those solutions only begot more questions. Yes, but things did not got more complex and mysterious, as the issue claims. Because people were much more ready and equipped with existing knowledge to face them. The ratio of complexity and mystery to existing knowledge never got out of human control.
The pace of science is getting faster and staider everyday, enriching the human knowledge base in an unprecedented rate. Those who posit that pessimistic view of things getting worse should think again. As science is converting miracles into mere events.
