For the purposes of answering "can science answer these questions", I'm ignoring little details like animal rights protesters, ID-loving fundies and other luddite scum. Physics (and most likely the complexities of quantum mechanics) is the only thing I'm classifying as obstacles here. Whether we will be able to acquire all the answers is another question entirely, I'm more interested in wondering whether we *could* get all the answers - and on that, I'm so far optimistic. On whether various bits of this world become a theocracy before that, well that's a different topic.
