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

A shared language helps unite people more than any religion, plenty of people can share the same faith like Mexican Vs American Catholics and still see the others as aliens. Its has worked as far back as the scattered Greek Polis uniting up against the Persian Monarchy.

Shared language is very important and the math of science goes a very long way to bridge across languages but what I'm talking about is shared vision, shared paradigm and shared works, the shared creation of man's world/civilization.

I think language has a part in creating a shared paradigm. Focault described in Crime and Punish the idea that the language of a society itself both reflects and influences the beliefs of the culture that uses it. For example, in Gailege (Irish) a standard greeting is Dia duit, Dia Muire duit. "God to you, God and Mary to you". It's literally impossible without resorting to slang or informality to hold a conversation in Irish without referencing Catholicism. This both reflects the historical faith and beliefs of the Irish people as well as enforces religious idea since in the Gaeltach people are literally wishing God and Mary to you in every other exchange.

Language in a way actually restricts peoples thought, if you've read George Orwell's 1984 the reason "DoubleSpeak" was being introduced was the idea that if there were no words to describe rebellion, dissent or disagreement with the ruling party it would be difficult, if not impossible for people to communicate or even develop this ideas themselves if they had no words to describe them.

One of the reasons support for intersex and transgendered people might be more forthcoming in Scandanavia than elsewhere in Europe is because in Danish, Swedish etc there are plenty of gender neutral words one can use to refer to and describe a person; so the idea of neither a masculine or femenine word being suitable for some isn't alien and is more readily accepted. In other languages this isn't the case, people and things are male or female; there's no words to describe or support this notion of not being one or the other.

I think language is a lot more powerful in shaping thought than we realise, and why bilingualism is such an asset for academia. There's some ideas that are very hard to express in some languages, and as such a vocabulary can restrain and unconciously hold people to a certain pattern of thought.
