The way how i see it is that if we don't understand something or can't explain why something is happening, then religious people will say its because God is doing it, and because the Bible says so. However, over many years people used to believe the sun rises every morning because of God, and that the Sun goes around the Earth. Well, due to science and physics we learned it is not so at all. So, with that said, I say whatever we don't understand right now, science will eventually figure it out in the future just like how we learned why the apple fall to Earth, and why the planets move through the solar system. |
Disproven beliefs from earlier days are a strong hint (if not even evidence) towards that the bible is just a story written down by men instead of being a true message from god. I think we agree on that.
Nevertheless, i do not think that science will ever be able to give an answer to the why or world and/or life is existing.
E.g. gravity: As the behavior of gravity is understood quiet well, we can now calculate the paths of planets etc. But we still don't know why there is gravity at all. And then again, when we in future will find the graviton (or if not the graviton then some other mechanism that transports the force of gravity between the masses) you can ask for the reason behind the graviton and so on.
The same goes for any other subject, whenever you learn something new and know what the reason for some phenomenon is, you can immediately ask the next question.
I believe that even if science should come to a point of a unified theory that's perfectly describing our world without any phenomenon left which cannot be explained by it, we still would not be able to answer the question why the world is like it is and not any different from that.
