Science and Scientism

A husband asks his wife if she loves him.She says yes. That is not good enough for him.He needs scientific proof.He has been reading Dawkins and he refuses to leave the science comfort zone.But can science alone explain the nature of love?How can science explain the behaviour of a mother who sacrifices herself for the sake of her child?Can science explain our appreciation of the Good,the True and the Beautiful?Indeed can science explain the scientific method?The more we studu science the more we learn how little we know about the Universe.There are so many things we do in life that are quite unscientific.
