An Ode to Skepticism: Elder Gods of the Gaps

I was agreeing with the statement

Saying "science will figure it out" doesn't in any way mean that whatever science ultimately figures out will be exactly what modern reductionists or materialists would say that thing would be like.

So what is the problem?

Well Paul, for starters it has just never struck me in listening to someone like, say, Krauss (since he was brought up), that what he means when he insists that science will figure it out is that the end result could take on many forms, including those that he time and time again ridicules. I don't believe when people like Krauss say that science will figure it out that they're being open minded and leaving the door open for some future non-reductive discovery. So, yeah, when someone like him says "science will figure it out," I sure don't believe that they're agreeing with the sentiment that you're saying you agree with.
