Some facts about the physical universe are accessible to humans, such as the speed of light. However, I believe other facts are beyond our ability to ascertain. For example, atoms are so small, we cannot observe them directly, but must infer their properties from the phenomena they manifest. Those inferences involve various degrees of hypothesis and interpretation, and so may not be entirely accurate.

Although the vastness of science requires a lot of patience and understanding, I still beliieve that there is no limit to what a human mind can achieve. Quest for answers has been the hallmark since the early man and the satisfaction from a solution is the driving force that made us what we are now. The tremendous advancement in technology and the availability of sources and resources will definitely help man in attaining the goals of science.

The universe is great. The senses are limited. To know what goes on beyond the universe in order to attain the absolute truth with these senses is like asking how a frog can evaluate the size of the ocean.

Science is NOT the knowledge of truth, it's the RESEARCH of a goal aiming to some truth. And science is ever changing...

I think you mean a goal of science is to demonstrate that what is known is true. I'd answer it this way: science does try to seek after what is true, but it is open to the fact that things may be provisionally true. That is, a fact is true based on the knowledge we have so far. This means that in the future one may discover what was true now 2007, may be inaccurate with better methods of empirical study. This differs from religion, which says such and such is true, was true and always will be true.

Complete and universal truth...i don't think so.
But portions of the truth are being attained by science as we speak thtough discoveries, inventions, and continues research.

No, we will never know anyhting. And I don't really think we should try. To much knowledge causes bad things. Look how much we are hurting ourselfes by gaining more knowledge. Global warming, war, murder, terrorisim,suicide.

of course, to a ceratain point. if you get so wrapped up in it you might completely miss the truth altogether. if you keep everything in perspective and keep ur priorities right then yes of course.
so probably yes but science can't do it on its own.

i would say the goal is the knowledge of facts, not truth.
