Why can't science answer the question what happens when we die?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: "science" is only as good as our comprehension.

think about it...someone from 500 years ago wouldn't comprehend the internet--they're exactly the same as us today but for their lack of understanding. as people progress, we understand more...more than what "we" knew 500 years ago, more than what we knew yesterday...and we'll know more tomorrow than what we know today. so, currently we don't understand what happens--if anything happens--after death. but just because we don't know now doesn't mean we won't ever know.

there are stranger things in the universe than we can imagine.
