That there is indeed a limit upon science is made very likely by the existence of questions that science cannot answer and that no conceivable advance of science would empower it to answer… It is not to science, therefore but to metaphysics, imaginative literature or religion that we must turn for answers to questions having to do with first and last things. Peter Medawar
About This Quote

Science is a wonderful thing. It has given us a lot of wonderful things. However, science has its limits. What it cannot do is answer questions that have to do with the first and last things.

That is something that no amount of science could help us with. What I mean by this is that while science may provide answers to the what and how of our existence, it cannot give an answer to the why. The why of life cannot be found within science because all things happen for a reason.

If we lived lives without purpose, there would be no point in living anymore. I’m not saying that everything has a purpose (that would be foolish) but if everything had no purpose, life would become meaningless.
