If someone says science can't explain everything what's the best way to repond?

RE: If someone says science can't explain everything what's the best way to repond?
I read an opinion that "the things that need explaining" can be thought of having fractal properties. IOW, no matter how much we know, there will always be refinements and more additional data there to gather.

Newton, for instance, got really close, Einstein 'tweaked' Newton's theories, Newton didn't have the information on extreme circumstances to allow him to craft a theory applicable in those cases. Einstein added to Newton, did not overthrow him, and extended our understanding into those more extreme conditions we now know exist in the universe.
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
