Gatac does...a survey?

It doesn't "tick me off", it's just ambiguous. I answer one way on a technicality, even though I think it might be going against the spirit of the statement.

And I'm not sure of your email Gatac, so I'm answering here. This hopefully shouldn't be too controversial, everyone, if so, please ignore.

I don't think "Eventually, science will be able to explain everything." and "Eventually, we will be able to achieve full scientific knowledge" are the same thing. Science will never explain why we are here on earth, why you like ice cream, or why John Wilkes Booth killed Abraham Lincoln. I'd be surprised if anyone ever thought that, but that's how the question sounds to me, so I said "Disagree". Do I think it's possible that we may someday have full scientific knowledge? Sure.

"Both science and religion will lead to the same truths." I think correct science and correct religion will lead to the same truths. But there are many wrongheaded scientific ideas and many wrongheaded religions that don't lead there. So I chose neutral, when a differently worded statement might have made me agree.
