say: The scientific method is very good at pointing out "what" and competent at answering "how" but does an absolutely terrible job answering the question "why."
In fact, it tends to answer the question "why" with a sequence of "what" and "how" answers; and that passes for knowledge and insight.
That's not to say their dexterity with "what" and "how" is not without merit. But it is important to pay attention to the semantics of what is actually going on philosophically.
e.g. "Why is the sky blue?" The stock answer: Rayleigh scattering. "What is Rayleigh scattering?" - now you're firmly in their frame; having replaced "why" with "what".
You see, they can discuss Rayleigh scattering to death. And in doing so, they completely circumvent having to address the question of "why." The smart philosopher will make the pursuant question "why is blue scattered more efficiently by oxygen?" or "if there's more nitrogen than oxygen in the atmosphere, why isn't Rayleigh scattering by nitrogen producing the blue?"
As long as you dogmatically stick to why questions, science eventually runs out of answers. As soon as you allow them to do a Potomac two-step into the realm of "what" or "how" they now control the conversation.
