I recommend saying "well of course not, and it never will". Science is only any good for understanding the natural world. Literature, poetry, other art forms - things we invent are mostly opaque to science. If you want to be more provocative you might change that list to "Literature, folk tales, mythology, religion - you know, shit we just make up - that stuff is mostly opaque to science".
