Why does science have to explain everything?

... I would rather marvel at the unknown then dwell in the pit of facts.

Reveling in intentional ignorance?

Reveling in intentional ignorance?

For some people ignorance is bliss but its not as simple as that because many of those who prefer ignorance can't help but believe in superstitous explanations. If they truely prefered ignorance then they'd just say that they don't know and don't want to know.

I find the whole neophobe concept a little disgusting, personally.

No, an assumption is something that is taken for granted, as if it were true based upon presupposition without consideration of the facts.
One does not follow objective evidence and reach an assumption, educated or not.

So your saying that science shouldn't be taken for granted? As if it's conclusions were not imagined or assumed without any factual basis for such human redundancies or fabrications.

If a conclusion were truly reached, then this matter would not need to be solved or discussed from a subjective stance, but it is.

I can't seem to understand what it is you're trying to convey here.

That the facts can change anytime and anything "objective" is loosely assumed to be solid only for the sake of convenience is an unspoken fact within science.

Of course men cling to reason, logic, concepts, words, etc because that's how we communicate with each other. If you disagreed you wouldn't be on the computer using the fruits of this so called imaginary progress.

My own opinion is that there is a supernatural part of the world but it can only be experienced, if you can intellectualize it and put it into concepts and words then it was never spiritual in the first place. I think this is what the OP fears, the death of their beliefs (ego)

science is everything, if the whole world actually put knowledge toward the planet, and universe, we would know how to eliminate all problems.

I wouldn't necessarily consider spirituality a "supernatural" conceptualization, but that is your opinion and I respect that.

As for my statement about science, well I view it as another human fabrication, no different that the drawing of the bible or other religious adherences.

Science doesn't represent knowledge, that just seems to be a dogmatic perspective from one who views science as the answer to everything. Man represents knowledge, simply because science cannot even come close to explaining inconsistancies because most scientists view the universe as being consistant.

I was reading a few threads of people seening aliens and demons and a few scientist chimed in that this is XXXXXXX.

Scientist are going so far as trying to determine how we fall in love. Someone actually has an Idea for using science to determine or moral standards.

Why is this?

Why does science feel the need to explain every part of our life from are earliest begining to our ultimate end?

Any thoughts appreciated.

Its mostly born out of an innate curiosity for finding out why things are the way they are but often there is a practical application as well which can act as a strong motivator.
