I've always kind of laughed at this. Science isn't an attempt to "explain everything". It's a method of discovery, and a damned good one at that. In fact, anything which attempts to explain everything is inherently untrustworthy. What if you simply don't have enough information to explain something? You have to make something up. What good is that? A made-up explanation is a useless explanation.
