What kinds of explanations of nature does science ignore and which does it pursue?

Science primarily ignores explanations based on supernatural or spiritual phenomena that cannot be tested or observed through empirical methods. Science pursues explanations that are based on observable evidence and testable hypotheses, focusing on natural causes and processes to understand the workings of the natural world.


What does science strives to be objective mean?

It means that science is interested in objective truths as opposed to subjective truths. A subjective truth, such as "Yellow is the best colour" is true or false depending on the opinion/belief of the subject. It might be true for me, if yellow is my favourite colour, but false for you. A subjective truth can therefore be both true and false at the same time. An objective truth is true regardless of belief/opinion. It is always true and does not rely on belief to be so. For example, 2 + 2 = 4 or Weight = mass * gravity are objective truths. Science is interested in finding objective truths.

Opinions are different than scientific hypothesis. A hypthesis is an idea that can (or at least we think can) be tested by the scientific method. Opinions can be anything... personal beliefs, religious ideas, dilusions... really anything and like all people, scientists can have opinions. Opinions really have nothing to do with science and because they are not scientifically testable, some may feel that science is ignoring their opinions.
