Playing devil's advocate: science hasn't cracked any of those yet either.

Solving those problems is not part of science's purview.

It absolutely is. They're sociology problems. Observations can be made on causal factors in society, changes made, effects observed, results shared.

Have a read of the book "The Science Of Racism" for how science can give a insight into dealing with a social issue.

True, and the scientific method and results have made wars more intensely deadly; but science doesn't claim if you say some magic words you can have absolutely anything you want. The scientific method is by far the best way we've found that lets us figure out what is real and what is nonsense - no other method comes anywhere close to it.

It has helped to improve on those issues though.
