Selflessly here for you
If science can't explain it,,,,
Be it a god, a miracle, magic, something physically seen or
physically experienced, or a personal experience....
If science can't explain it, does it mean it isn't real, didn't happen, or isn't possible?

I realise that some may feel I too am “playing with words” now, but I’d say that I’m merely reflecting when I suggest that we first swap the word “science” with “scientists” and that we then recall what scientists do when they do research and produce knowledge. Finally, that we also acknowledge that scientists are “human beings”.
The question in your OP then becomes: If man cannot experience, study and explain it - does it not exist?
We should be able to agree on the fact that whatever does not exist, cannot be studied - ever.
But that cannot be the same as saying that what man cannot experience, does not exist, because then we are saying that only man’s experience exists. And that is not what we are saying, is it…?
Though I feel that we should be able to agree also on the fact that scientists cannot study what they cannot experience, I am reluctant to go with the belief that man (scientists) can experience all that exists.
