Unanswered questions in science
Browsing through debates such as these, there's always that category of people who just cannot leave a question unanswered and say: you have a point.
I think you will find that most at this forum when confronted with a truly unanswered question will say, "That's an unanswered question, we don't know, yet. But you don't have a point." At least we will say you don't have a point if the point you are trying to make is that the unanswered question raises doubts about the validity of the ToE.
If the only point you wish to make is that science doesn't have all the answers, I'm quite confident that nobody here will dispute that point, even if you present no evidence whatsoever in support of the point. The experience of science shows that every answer raises more questions. This suggests that science will never have all the answers. Most of us at this forum are completely comfortable with the idea that there are unanswered questions. Unanswered questions are the lifeblood of science. In fact, the presence of unanswered questions is one of the hallmarks of a vital scientific field.
Welcome!
