Science only offers one aspect of the truth (the how or method, not the reason or the why). For example, as a scientist you could say that playing the violin was ‘rubbing the entrails of a dead sheep with the hairs of a dead horse’, and you would be describing the facts accurately – but not all the facts. You would not be describing the question of why certain sounds are harmonious and others not, why the music is enjoyable or why the violinist is playing at all. Strictly speaking, science can only answer the ‘how’ questions, not the ‘why’ questions.
