Do you think science will ever be able to explain everything or do you think some things are inherently unknowable by science?

[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 17-03-04] [Hit: ]
-MARK say: It is probable. Of course some people will object and say it is not possible. I would argue those who make that claim do not know what science is. Many people treat science as if it is some tangible thing they could pick up, hold and examine. It is not.......

None of this is to say that we should abandon science, or use these limitations as an excuses to indulge our wishful thinking regarding supernatural phenomena of any sort. In other words, "science has limitations" in no way translates to "therefore God exists".

Hope this helps, thanks for the question.

MARK say: It is probable. Of course some people will object and say it is not possible. I would argue those who make that claim do not know what science is. Many people treat science as if it is some tangible thing they could pick up, hold and examine. It is not. Science is a process. It is a method of examining things in as objective and fair way as we have ever managed to conceive. People might perceive science as a scientist looking down a microscope or mixing substances in glassware in a lab. But science is not only done by those subjects conventionally called the sciences. Science is a process which any honest discipline seeking objective knowledge can use.

Will we know the answer to everything one day? That is not an easy question to answer. In the far distant future if our species has not become extinct and technology has advanced much further who knows what we will discover. But how would we know if it was everything? The possibility is, of course, both exciting and daunting and may be even anti-climactic. It is extremely exciting to think we may one day know everything, e.g. what happens in a black hole. It could also be daunting because whilst knowledge alone is not dangerous what other humans may do with that knowledge can be. It would possibly be anti-climactic a bit like that feeling you get on Christmas morning when all the presents are now open. It would be like what do we do now?

G C say: Sure. All answers to any question is in the bible.

Paul say: Science by definition is the study of the natural universe in natural terms. Supernatural or spiritual realities lie totally outside the realm of science, and science therefore cannot make any valid statements concerning such realities.
