Do you believe it is only a question of time until science will come up with answers to all open questions?

That is what it is. Philosophy, or more precisely, philosophy's everyday appearance, which is a political or religious ideology, guides and misguides the lives of human beings, and every human being meets daily with many philosophical ideas, and makes or avoids many of his daily choices by appealing to and relying on philosophical considerations.

Literally millions of people have been murdered in this century and other millions of people have been sent to concentration camps for what were, in the end, crude philosophical ideas (of the Marxist or Fascist variety, often).

All supposedly 'practical' men, whether they did the killing in the name of a philosophy or were the victims of men acting out a philosophy or stood at the side gawking while declaring all philosophy useless or nonsense, were as philosophical - in the sense of being moved by general arguments about what the world is and should be and how human beings should behave - as any man, except that these supposedly 'practical' men were less conscious of that fact.

In any case, it is an illusion to believe that philosophy only pertains to the goods of the mind or only is of importance to a few intellectually gifted and curious individuals:

whatever happens in society and whatever human beings consciously do and do not do to others and for themselves is based on general ideas and values that are very properly speaking philosophical, and this has been so since human beings started to think.

And part of the reason is that all men need to answer the questions what there really is, what they should and should not do, and why they believe they know things. These questions cannot be answered by any special science, and must be somehow answered by all human beings.

Also, it is important to recognize that the philosophies that influenced much of the history of the 20th Century, Socialism and Fascism, were - at least in practice - dangerous delusions, and that indeed the same holds for religions, that tend to be beliefs that are held in irrational and fanatical ways, and tend to be very dangerous for those of a different belief. (This last fact should give people pause who believe in an all powerful and benevolent deity. It seems to me that the most a believer in God is entitled to claim, within reason, if this is possible, is that he believes in something that is totally beyond human understanding.)

Some questions require a certain kind of intuition to answer and that leaves science in the dark.

Science only handle those repeatable phenomena in 3 D space and time.

Hence, science cannot answer every open question.

yes and no..

Yes because we are bound to know this sometime or another but it'll just open up more questions, it's like a little kid asking you a question, you answer it and then they say why and why and why and it won't end...

No, for the simple reason that our minds are to imperfect to answer questions that can change mankind forever...

Hope I helped....

eventually the human race will be converted to pure energy and act as a single consciousness, thus rendering questions and answers obsolete

Yes, but these answers will only raise more questions :)

Yes there is some stuff that we will never know! What ever that is we may never realize!

I don't believe so.
