Very well said sir @gavvet and i personally like your this line very much:-
Science is about cold hard facts no mater how ugly, distasteful and unpalatable they may be.
Science seeks to uncover the "what" and the "how" of the world around us. It has no tools to discern the "why".
and iam totally agree with you thinking because if we totally dependent on science to find out the purpose and meaning of lives then that becomes very boring and nonsense,
And instead of depending on science we have to find out the inner balance and the purpose of our lives because each of us has a specific purpose for their lives,so we need to focus on that,so we have to keep searching instead of becoming totally dependent on a single method.
