Comment on A field guide to bullshit

"-But even scientists admit that they can't explain everything. -There probably are questions that science cannot answer..."

I would love to get rid of this intellectual appeasement of supernaturalists. It is only there to avoid accusations of scientism so I find it an argumentative cop-out.

Sure, science can't answer some questions. Like: "what hair colour is bald?", "where does god live?" and "what is the meaning of life?".

But is the problem with science or with the question? Always challenge the question, especially if it contains assumptions.
