Walt is correct. However, I've heard string theory described as the science of everything.  That's actually a catch-phrase from somebody promoting a course and even he didn't intend it as anything but a quip.

Here a comment from an interesting link:

Science doesn't draw conclusions about supernatural explanations

Do gods exist? Do supernatural entities intervene in human affairs? These questions may be important, but science won't help you answer them. Questions that deal with supernatural explanations are, by definition, beyond the realm of nature — and hence, also beyond the realm of what can be studied by science. For many, such questions are matters of personal faith and spirituality.
