You just don't get it.

What happened can never be determined with any accuracy so it is all a waste of time (something universities do very well). Yet humanists cannot admit that science cannot provide answers to everything. They can never admit, for example, that any cause of evolutionary change is unknown or unknowable. A *real* scientist would not have this problem.

True, but nonetheless it's one of those time wasters with serious consequences. Naziism and communism were offshoots of evolution.

Postmodernist nonsense. We can most certainly determine what happened with a great deal of accuracy.

"Yet humanists cannot admit that science cannot provide answers to everything."

That would be Creationists can't admit the Bible can't provide answers to everything. Scientists are well aware of the limits of knowledge.

"They can never admit, for example, that any cause of evolutionary change is unknown or unknowable. "

Why admit to something that is false?

Are you refering to criminal forensic investigations as well?
