then say some things can't be explained.
I said somethings cant be explained? Im pretty sure I didnt. There is a huge difference between "cant be explained" and "has not yet been explained."

If you were refering to this:

However anything that science cannot explain because 'science is not applicable' simply does not exist
then Im not sure how you think this is in anyway contradictory. The something I refer to never existed, it is simply a vague idea that you brought up and supported with the rational that science could not explain it.

Imo the argument that "science cannot explain everything" is exactly like when someone makes an irrational decision then tries to justify it by saying that everything is not within the realm of logic and that their decision is one of those things because it was based on intuition/feeling/emotion.

Another example would be a discussion between an atheist and a christian. The christian will be cornered by logic and fall back on "you just need to have faith."

Pretty much my point is, is that you cannot have anything outside of science or outside of logic or outside of the laws of physics. As we learn these things evolve to accommodate newly discovered facts. If we allow anything to exist outside of these rule sets, then they themselves are worth nothing.
