"Do you believe science will eventually be able to explain every aspect of the universe?"

Scientists have already explained everything. There will always be research opportunities in every branch of science but they have good explanations for everything including how the universe began about 14 billion years ago and how life got a foothold on Earth about 4 million years ago.

The magic god fairy of the gaps has run out of hiding places. The thing's magical powers were never necessary for anything. A god fairy who never had anything to do is a fairy that doesn't exist.

"Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge: it is those who know little, not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science."
-- Charles Darwin

"If the history of science teaches us anything, it is that what conquers our ignorance is research, not giving up and attributing our ignorance to the miraculous work of a creator."
-- Jerry Coyne, University of Chicago biologist
