Well, I'm not hoping that there are questions scienc cannot answer; it's pretty obvious to me, and to you too as you seem to acknowledge. The questions I have? Well, they're the standard questions of life: Does God exist? Is there a reason for humane existence? etc.

After a little googling I found some nice webpages (1|2) that explains it nicely, in my humble opinion. As it says there, things like moral judgments, aesthetics, etc. cannot be answered by appealing only to science.

Sorry for that. English is not my first language, but in the future I will attempt to spell correctly. Big Grin
