It's not a science board. I really hope we don't turn it into one. Science is a way to argue inductively. That's it. Life contains many things outside of it.
Name one thing life does outside of science.
Top to bottom, all life exists without science. The wind blows without science. Balls drop without science. Science is just a descriptive means to predict and manipulate.
Now, maybe you're asking a different question:

what part of life exists outside the scope of empirical observation and can't be addressed using the scientific method?
Well... some life searches for meaning and value in life. You simply can't get an answer scientifically at this point. The only approach at the moment is to go outside of science.
(I anticipate this will be a discussion of the limits and boundaries of the utility of science, so I'd suggest "Is it Science?")
