Steen, what is the origin of all life? Do you believe(from evidence you have seen) life came from non-living material? Fairly easy question... I mean, science knows all... this should be easy for them.
"Science" knows nothing, since science itself is not sentient. Science is a METHOD that Humans use to attain knowledge.
This should CLEARLY tell you something, that since men of science use science to attain knowledge, they can not and do not "know all." Otherwise, they would have had no need of science to attain knowledge.
That statement DOES NOT imply anything with respect to what is knowable and to what extent. It should NO way be taken that there are limits to scientific knowledge in either range, complete ignorance or complete knowledge.
Look man, the scientific method, as used today, has only been around for a very short while. What you are essentially doing is asking people who use science to provide all answers for all things, now. It's pretty lame behavior to ask such.
People who like and use science KNOW that they don't have all the answers, NOR do scientists actually clain that. Scientists know men are fallible. They also know, there is the possibility such answers will never be illuminated.
Religions and religious people, especially adherents of religions based on the concepts of sin and imperfection, seem awefully ready to dismiss human fallibility for "the answers."
If you will, God "gave" us reason, so we could learn how to fish, not to have men in positions of power and authority hand us fish.
