I can't answer that, until you've defined science. For more about this, see the OP.

why do you have to presume that people who do not agree with you do not know what science is?

I don't presume anything of the kind.

S-c-i-e-n-c-e is 7-letter word, and it has various different (often subtly different) meanings. If somebody asks me 'Did you make the assumption that everything that exists can be examined by science?', the answer might be 'yes'. Or it might be 'no'. Or I might say that it's one of those questions which doesn't have a simple yes/no answer.

But I can't begin to answer the question, until I know what the questioner means by the word 'science'. What counts as science. What's included. What's excluded.

Is that any clearer?
