Science cannot, and was never meant to, explain all of reality. Science is very useful, and it has certainly been successful, but it needs to restrict itself to the subset of phenomena that it is equipped to explore. The big problem is that science currently thinks that if it cannot explain something, then that something is either BS, pseudoscience, or simply not worth knowing. Which is completely wrong.
That’s not how science works Paul.
Coincidentally, the t-shirt I was wearing yesterday has the message, “Science doesn’t care what you believe.” Similarly, science doesn’t think!
