Do you think everything has a scientific explanation?

In a theoretical sense, everything can be explained, but people do not have the intellectual capacity to figure out a great deal of things.

I think scientists have a burning desire to give everything an explanation, to make sure all things are in their proper place and appropriately labeled. I think they can come up with an explanation, but it won't necessarily be right, let us not forget, science once assured us the world was flat and the sun revolved around us. Then, they just changed their minds, and by the way, does anyone know what they're planning on doing with Pluto??? ;)

Anything and everything can be explained if the desire is strong enough, and science seems even better at disproving things. Why not just accept that quite often, it is the mystery of a thing that lends it such beauty.

Everything can be explained scientifically. Whether or not we as humans have discovered it yet is another thing. But everything that happens...has a scientific explanation behind it. We cant explain love... but there are scientific chemical reactions going on in our bodies that we dont know about. Just b/c we dont know... doesn't mean there isn't a scientific explanation for it.

We can't completely believe in anything except for our own existence. It seemed pretty likely that science do exist, but the only proof we have is our own perception and perception can be deceiving. It is possible to wake up the next day and find out that your entire life was a dream. One thing you can be sure of though, is your own existence since that is something you have direct knowledge of. Every other knowledge we have is received through perception. So in some way, no, I don't completely believe that everything has a scientific explanation. I do believe it up to a point though, since perception is very convincing when I open my eyes.

In the main I would say yes, all things have a scientific explanation, but there are things that we can't explain right now so the act may be considered a miracle. I also believe that science will take the beauty out of somethings. A babies first words and the like can be easily explained but should they be?

Not quite. I think that everything that's real will turn out, someday, to have a scientific explanation. But not everything does, now.

Everything cannot have a scientific explanation, even if there is no "supernatural" reason behind a certain phenomenon. For example, how can one scientifically explain naturalism or materialism. These are metaphysical presuppositions; they are both assumptions about reality. How does one scientifically explain these assumptions?

Yes. What we consider supernatural or even just unexplainable can have an explanation we just havent reached yet. I believe all manner of things happen which we cant explain no doubt, like synchronicity, visits from dead relatives, ghosts, etc. We cant scientifically explain or prove them yet. They happen but we cant explain them. So yes, I think everything has an explanation.

No. Not unless a scientific explanation would include karma, spirits, the afterlife, and forces of the universe guiding us. Then no, I dont' think everything has a scientific explanation.

No, at least not yet, at least not with todays human intelligence, it is more likely to find things in the whole universe we cannot explain than things we do, yet that is the very purpouse of science, to understand and explain the very nature of universe itself wich is infinite therfore we would need an infinite undersatnding and so an infinite explanation. Yet the sensation the hunger of to knowing new things, curiosity, is the very engine of science and it is satisfiying to say that even know we barely have a tiny scracht of what it is out there yet for us to know an to learn and what that leaves to us in our personal lives.

Can science explain God? No it wont ever, we need him to be unexplainable but if he did All This in what He calls a week then, damn, He does is Good and, He is perfect. And, therefore, studing science is, then, ultimately, studing God himself.
