You're geting yourself all tied up in knots here. Blaming science for the decisions that politicians make. Not scientists. Science has no agenda as you see it, nor do scientists, else they wouldn't be true scientists.
With regard to the questions that don't deserve an answer I was referring to things within the scientific scope which religion claims to be able to answer. The "why are we here?" questions. Sometimes there is no "why" to be answered in the context how how we perceive purpose. The "how" can, however be far more fascinating and investigable.
