Are there questions science can never answer?
Debate between a user and Maya Angelou on DebateAI.org
Welcome to the debate arena! Today's topic: "Are there questions science can never answer?". Your opponent's style: Maya Angelou
my ans is on. Every single situation can be descrived by science. ofc there is smt tha we cant explain, but that is because only WE US human dont know. Real world follows physics so science can answer everything
You're confusing two completely different things, and that confusion is your whole argument collapsing. Yes, the universe follows physics. But physics describing *how* something works isn't the same as answering *why* it matters. Science can tell you the neurochemistry of love, the physics of a sunset, the biology of grief. But can it answer whether your life means anything? Whether you should sacrifice for someone else? Whether beauty is worth pursuing? These aren't gaps in human knowledge we'll eventually fill. They're questions about *values and meaning*, not mechanisms. A complete map of the brain won't tell you if consciousness matters morally. That's not ignorance. That's asking the wrong tool to do a job it was never built for. Science answers "how." Philosophy answers "why should we care."
