Does Science really answer our difficult querries or does it simply help us go through our life without many mishaps,without much ill health,with some solace of having lived well etc. following tried and tested algorithms formulated by Science and Scientific method without
getting an answer to Why rather than to How?
The really difficult querries like the nature of our Understanding, the nature of Life,nature of Reality etc. cannot just be shrugged off by saying that these are Metaphysical questions. If so,Man's curiosity and thirst for knowledge seems to have been delimited by our Scientific Method.
So is Science a collection of successful recipes ?
