Right, I agree completely.

Any good scientist would tell you that science does not have all the answers. That's what people have to remember. Science can't explain everything. You don't have to believe in something that isn't scientifically proven (a scientific oxymoron btw..but it makes the point), but it is foolhardy to discount its possibility if it can't be disproven through science.

Additionally, science is only as intelligent as those who practice it. In my opinion that puts a limitation on its ability to comprehend everything...at least at a ceratin point in time.
