Fulhamish's response is better than mine, Putin, which appeals to authority and then bails. I apologize for a weak post.
In addition to the key, and more important points, that he makes, and in addition to Hume's induction arguments, which stand between scientific methods and an authoritative description of reality, I would add that, in addition, science always explains patterns by reference to other patterns, or else just asserts the existence of patterns. It simply assumes -- everywhere -- the idea of causality, and rules out explanations that are non-causal (see solution techniques of Maxwell's equations for especially clear examples of this). Causality, like logic and mathematics and induction etc. etc., is immaterial and not subject to the methods of science to explain. It must be assumed.
