A source on ancient mythos not having a basis in science or facts? Or that they served political purposes in their time?
Can you be more specific about what things you feel science cannot address? It seems like the one and only proven method for understanding our universe.
I mean, we understand relativity well enough to predict astronomical movements and to account for it when synchronizing GPS, we understand biology well enough for genetic engineering and complex medicine, chemistry well enough to create exotic materials and superconductors, quantum mechanics enough to harness it for computation, physics enough to split the atom, space travel, astronomy, etc. We understand a lot more than "the most basic things."
