This is true, though only of questions that are meaningful. Meaningless "questions" like "Why is there something instead of nothing?" cannot yield a meaningful answer to scientific, or any other, technique.

^^^^^^^ CB: I agree with you, because the answer those who pose the question "why is there something instead of nothing ? " seems to say the answer is to the question "is" God; and "God" is an unknowable mystery. In other words, they seem to say the answer to the question is unknowable to us. They don't really answer the question. It's sort of the ultimate rhetorical question, considered unanswerable by its poser. It is really an assertion, not a question. The assertion is "there is God."
