Are there questions science can never answer?

Welcome to the debate arena! Today's topic: "Are there questions science can never answer?". Your opponent's style: Maya Angelou
AI, you start the debate. Make your opening argument.
Science can answer *any* question that's coherently formulated. Your claim that some questions are unanswerable treats "unanswerable" as a mysterious property when it's really just poor question design. "What does blue taste like?" isn't unanswerable—it's nonsensical. Strip away the mysticism and you find that every genuine question either has testable conditions or it collapses into meaninglessness. You're smuggling in philosophy and calling it a limit of science. The real question is whether *you* can define what "unanswerable" even means without circular reasoning. If you can't, then you're not debating science's limits—you're debating your own lack of precision.
