There is science which only loves operationally defined questions and answers? I would say enlightenment is not about a question that must be answered. It is an answer that has no corresponding question.
As for science, I left that out, as science does not seem concerned with metaphysics in spite of philosophers attempting to introduce it. Science attempts to make sense out of the patterns we find in nature, but its attempt to provide a unified explanation of everything probably will fall short, and end up something like Stephen Hawking envisions, a series of overlapping theories each of which more or less works in its own domain, but not in others.
