Just what the sense organs allows us to do with things around.
Like a computer seems to be able to do many things, or almost anything ! It cannot have intuition, emotions, etc !

Science discovers things a little at a time. Probably, in the future, science might understand everything. But then again, with answers, arises a plethora of questions. Therefore, the more answers you have, the more questions you gain.

To answer the question, no. I don't think it is possible for science to understand everything. We are specially designed this way. And science cannot understand why we are designed as such. There will be things left as mysteries. And I suppose, it is best left that way.

The question is really quite another one entirely: "Is Man intelligent enough to decipher what science teaches Him?" In quite the majority of cases, the answer is a booming, resounding, "NO." Few people think critically these days--and those who do are often shot down by the logic-free dogma of religion or bias, because most people will only accept answers that they're comfortable with. The trouble with reality is that it doesn't CARE what you think about it: It simply is what it is. So while I believe that the scientific thought process can, indeed, lead to an understanding of absolutely everything... I honestly doubt the human mentality which prevails today will allow it.

Keep in mind that we are the very same species that once burned "witches" at the stake. We are also the species that declares war in the name of whatever imaginary icon. (Science can't explain God? Probably because all evidence points to His non-existance. At the very least, it's proven ten-fold that the Holy Bible is a folklore fairy tale--yet many chose to craddle it just as Linus craddles his security blanket. IN FACT, religious dogma often holds back scientific discovery; take, for example, embryonic stem cell research. Which of course further proves my point.)

I believe that everything we think that we 'know' is actually a theory and nothing can be known for certain. For example I have a theory that I am currently typing on a laptop. I believe very strongly in this theory and I am going to continue to act on it. However if someone approached me with an opposing theory that I am actually hooked up to a program called the Matrix that feeds images and sensations into my brain, I'd have to say that I don't know for 100% certain that this is in fact what I am doing. Therefore not only can science not understand everything, it also understands nothing for certain.

considering that science is a way to study the world...the answer is no. It doesn't have a brain so it is incapable of understanding. I haven't come across anything thus far that is capable of understanding everything. But maybe I haven't been looking hard enough. Just because I haven't seen it doesn't mean it does not exist. And just because I'm use to things happening everyday doesn't mean they will happen tomorrow. So to keep this short...re-word the question.

Honestly, most of the stuff science believes in many fields they will change their minds about in ten years. This is a repeated cycle in history. Any wonder why people dream up these insensitive Alien big headed creatures that are close to human yet probe mercilessly and are all eyes that do not cry.

Science can only understand observable phenomenon, hence it is only able to look at the physical things of our world and there is so much more here....it is also limited to what our human brains can think up or reason out - I, for one, am not arrogant enough to think humans can possibly understand everything we see or are aware of. We of little brain...

Given enough time, I believe much, if not all, can be explained by science--and it HAS so far!! Two thousand years ago, some men made the fatal mistake of writing a book called the bible, without knowing all that we NOW know about science--most notably the dinosaurs??!! And I'm sorry, but you just can't explain man with an obviously drug-inspired story of a God, and his supposed creation of man and woman only six thousand years ago!! And if that weren't enough, some people actually still believe that a man named Noah built a huge boat all by himself, enormous enough to fit 60,000 SPECIES OF ANIMALS (the estimated count of species in that period of time!), and guided them two-by-two on his big boat, and for forty days and nights, cleaned their sh*t and fed them all!! COME ON, PEOPLE, at least science starts with believable premises!! Science has MANY, MANY books of research--the Christian bible has only one book of other-worldly speculation based ENTIRELY on a nonsensical faith!! All we are saying, is give science a chance!! (Apologies to John Lennon!).

Maybe not understand, but explain. Religon has been used for centuries to explain the un-explainable. Science shows us the how and why things happen and have happened from Millions of years ago to today and into the future.
