Science will explain how but not why. It talks about what is, not what ought to be. Science is descriptive, not prescriptive; it can tell us about causes but it cannot tell us about purposes. Indeed, science disavows purposes.

-- Jonathan Sacks 乔纳森·萨克斯

科学将解释如何做，但不会解释为什么。它谈论的是什么，而不是应该是什么。科学是描述性的，而不是说明性的;它能告诉我们原因，但不能告诉我们目的。的确，科学否定目的。
