    Science can answer questions where the proposed answers can be tested, either in the lab or through the predictions that can be made with those answers.

    For an example of a proposed answer (a proposed answer is called a hypothesis) that can be tested in a lab, suppose you observe that people who use a kitchen where the counter tops are cleaned by a bleach solution don't get sick as often as those who use a kitchen where the counter tops are cleaned with only water. Your hypothesis might be that the bleach solution is killing disease-causing microbes. In the lab, you can take disease-causing microbes and add bleach solution to them and see if the bleach kills them.

    Science can also answer questions when the hypothesis makes a prediction that can be tested. In the case of evolution, Darwin and other naturalists noticed that many species were similar. They hypothesized that these species were related and had a common ancestor. This hypothesis predicts that if they had a common ancestor, their DNA would be similar. If their DNA turns out NOT to be similar, it would falsify (prove wrong) the hypothesis. As it turns out, their DNA is similar. Other predictions are also made by this particular hypothesis, and so far, they've turned out to back the hypothesis. (A well backed hypothesis becomes a theory, which is as close as things get to known truth in science. However, even a theory is never beyond question when new information is discovered.)

    A question that science can't answer is whether or not there is life after death, in another realm that does not interact with our world. No one has come up with a way to test this hypothesis.

    The really big one for me is:

    What was happening BEFORE the big bang? and

    Where did the "singularity" come from.?

    Science explains things quite well from the big bang onward. Evolution is an accepted theory as is relativity and plate tectonics
