I don't agree with that, but I do think that life may not have an "explanation" such as we have come to desire from phenomena.
In other words, shit happens. We might be stuck with that.
The nature of mathematics sort of proves that science can never answer every question, but that doesn't mean we should throw it out. Because anything that can answer every question is inherently self-contradictory.
We can call the force that makes shit happen something, but perhaps we can never know "what it is" in the sense that we know what a cheeseburger is.
