If not, then is it possible for anything to be beyond the realm of science?';Beyond the realm of science'; is a false statement?
There are things beyond the realm of science.
Fantasy. Things that are not reproducible. The supernatural...';Beyond the realm of science'; is a false statement?
Science is a branch of philosophy - it used to be called ';Natural Philosophy';.
It examines the physical, natural universe in order to try and determine how it operates.
Therefore there are many things which are indeed ';beyond the realm of science';. Ethics, metaphysics, epistemology, theology, etc. None of these involve the natural universe, and are therefore not covered by science's purview.
There are many things which are beyond our current understanding --beyond the realm of science at the moment .
There are some things that we even suspect will always be beyond our understanding --such as the origin of the universe.
To infer that something is false simply because it is beyond our understanding would be foolish.
