Not only are there "things" science can't explain but there are many things people think science has explained which it definitely has not for fact.

Of course, science does not have all the answers, but it doesn't claim to be able to have all the answers. Science is about explaining the natural world and observable phenomenon and it does a very good job in that department. But science really isn't built to explain existential questions. Science can't really tell us the meaning of life, if life is worth living or if there is a God. These are things that people must explain for themselves according their own logic and values.

Yes, science is ever changing and has only been around a short while. I have seen changes in the way we do things in the ICU that were based on science ten years ago but now has been proven wrong. Science is wonderful but we should always look at where/who the answers come from.

"Science" is hardly up to the challenge of explaining things it CAN explain. Science is about evidence, not proof. Evidence often points in one direction while proof is in an entirely different direction. Science also labors under the pressure of a secular world wherein Godly conclusions are unacceptable.

Of course there are, but not in the sense you're asking! There are things that our science cannot explain RIGHT NOW, but 100 years ago there were many, many more of them. The number, while still unimaginably vast, is getting smaller with each passing century, with each new discovery. There are plenty of things our current science cannot explain, but that doesn't validate the god of the gaps in our knowledge.

Science deals with the natural and we see the natural
through a limited perspective (senses and mind).
Science changes all the time because of the
limitations. It does not deal with the supernatural
at all and can not - things like wisdom and love
are not dealt with or explained. Life is observed in
science, but can not ever be fully explained by it -
we are body, mind, and spirit. Our conscience can
not be fully explained because we are not merely
physical - notice the word conscience (describing
how we experience being alive and thinking)
It is literally "with science" - so it is a word that,
in itself hints at there's something with science that
is not science!

issues we won't be able to clarify are no longer flaws in technological expertise. it particularly is technological expertise - technological expertise is determining how the universe worked. And all of us comprehend that we don't have all of it discovered yet. although, the bumblebee element is a hoax - somebody tried to calculate the way it works leaving out many of the climate that come into play and then claimed it could no longer. it extremely is like asserting that a million+a million can no longer equivalent 2 because of the fact i've got by no potential heard of the variety 2. It replaced into ridiculous even on the time, and all and sundry mentioned so. additionally, on condition that no longer something paranormal has ever been shown to exist, there is not any flaw there - there is not any thank you to objective something that may not there. it extremely is basically a superstition.

Yes. Even philosophers of science recognize that science can't answer essentialist questions like "What is the real meaning of gravity?"

Science only answers questions about observable events in the world. There are at least four other types of questions:

Science certainly doesn't answer self-report questions, like "Do you like gravy on meatloaf?"

Analytical questions ask about the meaning of words or other symbols, for example, "What does commerce mean?"

Evaluative questions ask about what is good or bad, right or wrong, for example, "Should people watch six hours of TV every day?"

Metaphysical questions ask about our very existence, for example, "Are all men created equal?"

There is no possible scientific experiment to answer self-report questions, analytical questions, evaluative questions, or metaphysical questions. That is why we need other types of inquiry.

given the time and the resources i can't see why it can't explain anything that actually exists. it hasn't done too bad so far, only about 200 years of real science and they can look back to a few milliseconds before the universe came into existence and it would seem, according to the newspapers yesterday, that they've just created an artificial replicating lifeform.

Only things science has yet to explain. If science cannot explain it, then the scope of the investigation is merely too narrow.
