The Ownership of Science

[Alan V]

Yes but science cannot and will not give us the answers to existential questions such as “Why does the universe exist” or “why do we exist” so some people like Michio Kaku and other theoretical physicists make leaps of faith based on educated guesses to attempt to answer “the why”.

Science does indeed answer such questions. Various cause-and-effect mechanisms are the best possible explanations for why things happened the way they did. You should study Big History, a remarkable synthesis of scientific discoveries into an over-all origins narrative.

There is no God-hypothesis incorporated into science because nothing in science requires that assumption. There is no need for it unless you are not happy that so many things come about as a matter of chance rather than by some just-so story which flatters us as humans.

So the problem with using science to "uphold" this or that belief is that the beliefs are unnecessary additions. You have to cherry-pick your science to make the beliefs seem somehow required to make sense of it all.
