It seems pretty obvious that everything has a scientific explanation. Science is the study of reality. By its nature it opens up more questions as it provides more answers, but there is nothing mystical about this. Imagine all knowledge as an infinite plane. What you know is the illuminated area inside a spotlight on that plane; what you don't know is the dark region around it; your questions constitute the circumference of the spotlight. People who don't know much have few questions. People who know more have many more questions. This is natural and invigorating.

Religion, mysticism, superstition all close off inquiry. Science inquires.
