My feeling is that scientific method has the power to account for and interlink all phenomena in the universe, including its origin, using the laws of nature. But that still leaves the laws unexplained.
Once you begin to explain or excuse all events on racial grounds, you begin to indulge in the perilous mythology of race.
You always feel when you look it straight in the eye that you could have put more into it, could have let yourself go and dug harder.
