4chan tends to have the flawed mindset that science has the ability to explain everything. First, science cannot explain anything 100%, since it is merely a likely theory of the phenomenon. Furthermore, science is constantly used for political economic warfare by both parties, both sides citing different scientists of differing opinions. Science cannot tell you the 'truth.' It can only tell you what the outcome of its flawed experiments are.
Furthermore, who is to say that the "ability" to explain anything is worthwhile? All it will do is create endless debates over the real truth that science is seeking, with foolish people citing one or two studies as ultimate truth, when they may be flawed and skewed beyond belief. The other side will cite studies to "prove" its own opinion. By the time science solves any problem definitively, it is far too late, just as it will be too late when global warming eats us alive.
