> [@Czarcasm](#): > > What unexplained thing in the world do you think science is incapable of eventually explaining, and why? three things I can automatically come up with, sociology, criminology, and anthropoly. We cannot use the scientific method on crimes nor can we on culture. We cannot pick 500 kids, place half in low income neighborhoods and the other in high class neighborhoods and see how their life develops. Why? 1) because it’s unethical. You can’t just buy kids and place them wherever you feel like it. 2) because life is too chaotic and a poor could become rich and vice-versa. But does that mean that being poor or coming from a poor neighborhood don’t contribute to crime? Furthermore, we often use the term “culture.” Anthropology is nothing more than a collection of stories put together to create a “culture.” Can we test this “culture?” Maybe we could get a bunch of people and toss them into this “culture” and see what happens. but again their actions or inactions would be from “stories.” but is culture a real product or is it a fairy tale? that is what I mean by science cannot prove everything. Some things are either too unethical or too abstract to prove. But do we still believe that they’re real? Is culture real? Maybe, maybe not. It depends on their point of view --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-would-jesus-think-about-all-the-adulation/607508)._
