There is that current and popular thinking and trend in research that every problem or issue of life that is not scientifically proved is not valid and correct. So, should every academic research be scientifically incline? what is your opinion?
Dear Dr. Kayode Asaju,
"... every problem or issue of life that is not scientifically proved is not valid and correct." is an oxymoron and meaningless statement. Science is not solving problems and issues of life - science is researching for new knowledge. That knowledge is a foundation that can be used to either solve problems and issues of life, or to create them. Often, both things are happening concurrently, as any positive solution may bring expected or unexpected negative consequences.
Engineers and technologists, for instance, are developing practical solutions to solve problems and issues of life. What they are doing is called Applied Sciences, which is not equivalent to Sciences. Humans have already achieved a lot in developing Sciences. However, it is far from being a final knowledge. Scientists believe a great deal more knowledge is going to be discovered yet. Therefore, it is not like every problem or issue of life can be fully resolved as of yet or ever. Nobody knows where are the boundaries of sciences.
Some problems or issues of life do not need any scientific prove to be recognized as valid and correct. For instance, a lack of medical personnel in the local hospital, or no medical facilities close by, or an obsolete town infrastructure. However, elevating those problem or issues of life from a local to much larger scale would require some application sciences studies indeed.
It is true that Science made us civilized and saves us from many catastrophic disease condition. Hence, science is one kind of solution to ease your life. Nevertheles, Science still can not explain many unanswered question. There is something which you can explain by your belief in Almighty or God, according to my opinion.
Science still at the moment can't answer to all questions. But, if there is still no scientific explanation and the topic is worth that there will be a group/groups of scientists that will try to find the answer.

No capital No. people exist within an organization and therefore their thinking and perceptions can not lend itself to practical testable observation. In view of this science can not provide solutions to all problem.
Dear, Mr. Shather,
Can you shed more light on why you said science can provide solution to every problem?
I do not think, Science can not solve all the problems of life, there is the side of, physical, metaphysical, psychic, religions, feelings, prediction of the future, the visible, the invisible, the existence of other creatures, the moral, the principles, the values, angels, jinns, etc ....
our knowledge is always limited and science and scientist could not explain everything in the life and so could not give the answers
I do not think so, science cannot answer every question, unless it goes hand in hand with religion and vice versa
Pease, see my comments preceded your questions with >>
Can science provide answers to every questions?
_____
>> No, it can provide only such answers that can be confirmed through scientific experiments.
_____
or Can science provide solution to every problems or issues of life?
_____
>> No, it can't, because there are reasonable and unreasonable humans' demands to sciences. Sciences care only about reasonable ones, that can be probed, tested experimentally.
