There is always endless question which could not be answered through scientific terms.

I don't think that any question has no answer. But I do think that there are many questions that have many answers. Questions like "What's the meaning of life?" and "Should gay marriage be banned?" is going to have many, many different answers that are all equally correct. It all comes down to what YOU believe is the answer to your question. If you're comfortable and happy with it, then it is the right answer for you.
Just a touch of moral relativism for your supper.

Well, that's kind of what I was saying. There may not be ONE answer to every question, but I do believe that every question has at least one answer. Otherwise, why would there be a question in the first place?

Shoreboy,
Absolutely, any question, and I mean any question can be answered.
There is only a problem if you want correct, verifable answers!

yes there r some questions which can never be answered absolutely....that is an evidence that god exists and that we will not be able to explain everything he has created

true enough...I do believe that, but even then, the ones that only god has an answer for are still answerable...

i don't think so but i do think there are questions that people don't want answered. or if they are able to answer don't because they know they can hurt some one i think that there is an explaniation for every thing even if you don't agree or beleive it.

I think the unanswerable question is what am I still doing up online and not in my warm cozy bed snuggled up to my love....
