Condescending tone, empty rhetoric, pretending to have a higher grasp than my mere mortal self, yep, I'm talking to person who believes in giant cloud people who rule over us. I'll stick to testable "models" over "zero evidence at all." Thanks.
Science provided enough answers to create the cell phone that you're displaying your ignorance through.

Perhaps you have me confused with another poster. Actually quote me to avoid strawman arguments.
I also like testable models. But those testable models are the hard limits of science. Science has no mechanism to provide actual answers.
These answers, if they exist at all, reside on a different level of cognition than those we can review with the scientific method.
If we are going to discuss that level, we will venture in to philosophy, theology and metaphysics. All of which were the historical precursors to what we know as science, by the way.
It is called the Hard Problem for a good reason. The big questions remain unanswered for reasons related directly to this topic. Even top neurobiologist are turning around on the reductive materialist worldview.
It is actually a really interesting subject and if you can bear to have it with me, I’ll gladly take the time.
Sorry, you're right. Your post got me thinking and it made me recall a type of person i can't stand. That wasn't explained well and it seems like I was saying you were behaving that way. Either way you slice it, my bad.
As for the topic, how about.... how plants use sunlight to create energy. That's an answer science gave us. It is one of millions I thought of. There are literally so many I don't know where to even start. How about this. You pick a topic. I will give an example of how science answered a question relating to that topic.
This is an arbitrary distinction
Not sure whether to laugh or cry at your reply.
There can be no greater distinction.
Any confusion to this fact belies fundamental ignorance.
Science can not provide answers, full stop.
