As far as thinking that science can't explain shit, and that we as humanity have no logical model for anything. I can only tell you that humans have been thinking that thought for quite some time now.

In fact, the Greek Philosopher Socrates once said, "True knowledge exists in knowing you know nothing."

Congratulations, you're a smart dude :smile:

If you want my opinion though I think we will figure it all out. Maybe not today or tomorrow, maybe not for a couple hundred or thousand or hundred thousand years. But eventually, at some time (if humans or whatever we are by then even operates or acknowledges time) we will understand it.

Sure we might not get it now, but we certainly have a better understanding of the universe today than the greatest and most intelligent scientific minds of 500 years ago.

Science will never reach its goal because it is based on making measurements, and measurements cant be made infinitisimally small, or large. Thus, whatever science we do will never be able to encompass changes that occur in the whole universe.

But we can still know a lot more than we do now.

especially when it comes to understanding the brain and the mind.

Just remember that science is not the pursuit of truth - it is the pursuit of control. We wish to be able to predict how things will occur, and we also want to know how to influence the world to make it do what we want. This is what science is for, primarily.
