But still I thought it was neat that you actually tried! By asking these questions I was trying to convey the idea that science cannot answer all of man's questions -- instead one needs to look elsewhere for answers in many cases (for example, psychology would be a necessary field for answering matters of the brains, and in most cases the answers would only be models based on conjecture, not absolute truth.) In other words, the "TOOLS OF PHYSICS" cannot be used for 100% of all answers. I know that the above questions all have answers (just don't ask me what they are ) but to assume that we will find all the answers from just one myra is too simplistic for me.
