But Math says we won't.

Godel's incompleteness theory seems to more or less prove we will never find a complete science of the universe... even if we were to brazenly assume that humanity will always live on and not be wiped out.

Hell, we can't even prove math.. so really everything we think we're sure of... we aren't.

Sure we'll never be 100% certain of anything, but we'll learn more and more about it and I think we'll get a pretty good idea of how the universe began before too long.  I mean think of the gigantic strides science and technology have made in the lifetime of our parents or their parents.  To say "science will never ascertain _____" seems highly presumptuous to me as science is just the means by which humans study the world around them and try to understand it, and I think one day we will have the technology to study things as difficult as the beginning without invoking "god did it".


How do you science yourself around a mathematical law?
