	Science is fundamentally based on extraction of determinism , 
  science is only and merely based on techniques and theories to extract
 determinism .Non-determinism -due to its inexplicable nature- tends to
  remain "ambigous" , "faith-oriented" etc etc .
  The human brain being the high point of non-determinism , it 
 therefore cannot be reverse engineered by scientists .
  I hope that also answers you Huy .

	Thanks for the patience.
