Science has inherent weaknesses that prevent it from developing a Theory of Everything.

Science is both a process and an academic pursuit. The process is not the exclusive domain of the academic pursuit. It is practiced in many other areas and in many different ways that are foreign to the academic pursuit. It is very important to recognise this duality. Science is the fundamental and primary process by which we gain knowledge, whether the underlying process is applied solely to the restricted and very limited academic pursuit by that name, or generally to the pursuit of knowledge in all areas of existence.

Under the ongoing influence of Atheism, the academic pursuit of Science sees itself as the only legitimate expression of Science,and in doing so has become overconfident, arrogant, and Narcissistic. It takes every opportunity to laud its achievements and to appropriate credit which does not rightly belong to it. This attitude is fostered and reinforced by our formal education system and its rigorous academic code.

Schools (and universities) generally require students to accept what is taught to them, even though it may be controversial and substantially of empirical nature (i.e. the theory fits the experimental data within the accuracy of measurements, but is transient if a more accurate theory is developed). If the student does not accept the "standard" theory he fails. This leads to mindless acceptance of what is taught in the academic pursuit called Science and the discouragement of critique. This effect is discernible in all academic areas.

But, Science is not the only source of knowledge. At times new knowledge is gained "serendipitously", or while previously discovered knowledge is being processed and applied by other systems such as engineering, health, environment, and religion.  If Science accepts feed-back from these systems it can broaden its horizons and move forward confidently. However, when it allows its narcissism to reign, and rejects knowledge from other sources, it  curtails its further development of knowledge in that area, and both Science and society are poorer for this.

Consequent to its growing Atheism, Science has severed its connection with Religion. In effect, this has isolated Science from the keys to the Theory of Everything, which are resident within Religion.

Another weakness of Science is that it is fragmented. It studies phenomena in isolation. In effect, Science is investigating consequents of the primary Creation Mechanism without discerning the real cause of the consequent phenomena, which make up the universe in which we live. This has resulted in Science associating unrelated phenomena like light and sound because some of the observed behaviours appear to be similar, although this is merely an illusion created by our incorrect interpretation of the observations.

A pertinent example is Thomas Young having associated light and sound as being similar phenomena, and then incorrectly concluding that light is a wave, because sound is a wave.

This error has been compounded by an announcement in New Scientist a few years ago that a light wave had been photographed by researchers in Europe. There has been little or no critique of this experiment that I have come across. It would appear that this photograph has been accepted by the scientific community as what it is claimed to be. If most teachers are like I was, the photograph is being used in schools and universities around the world as evidence that "light is a wave".

What we believe to be a "light wave" is merely an illusion created by the incorrect interpretation of the behaviour of light.

Close inspection of the photograph of the "light wave" reveals that it is a composite of thousands on separate dots. It is therefore a statistical plot, which I believe is related to the positional origin and directional travel of the light photons being registered on the photographic plate.

Still another weakness of Science is that it is "empirical" in nature and for the most part phenomena are not fully understood. In spite of this, rigorous mathematics is used on the "best fit" theory in the hope of developing a "Theory of Everything". The expectation of the emergence of an accurate theory out of innacuracy through mathematical manipulation is a spurious concept which has unnecessarily led Science into the realm of fantasy and wild speculation.

For more detail and deeper, unique insights on this topic you should read "God and Creation - an Engineering Perspective" to discover the Creation Mechanism as proposed by the author, and see how this simple mechanism actually creates all created phenomena, which includes fundamental things like beingness, space, time, matter, mass, structure, repulsive force, magnetism, electromagnetism, etc; also see how the mechanism is related to religion, as well as science, and can be applied generally to all sorts of activities and processes; it even helps you to discover the true nature of light and why scientists have mistakenly called it both a particle and a wave.

The Theory of Everything in Physics integrates Science and Religion. I can say this with certainty because in my book "God and Creation - an Engineering Perspective" I have developed and detailed a Creation Mechanism which actually creates and integrates almost all fundamental phenomena and shows how they are created from and related by a single action.

The theory behind the Mechanism takes some of the very basic beliefs of Religion, translates them into the language of Science, and then integrates them with known scientific physical behaviours.

What results is a very simple, but profound, mechanism that brings immeasurable enlightenment to both Science and Religion. It links Science and Religion together in such a way that both benefit greatly from the integration. Science is suddenly able to contribute positively to religious practice such as prayer, meditation, spiritual healing, and interpersonal relationships, while the application of Religion to Science in the Mechanism clarifies and facilitates our understanding of some of the most difficult and perplexing areas of our Science.

Creation Mechanism validates much of our fundamental Religion and provides such a strong nexus between God and the created universe that God's existence cannot be disputed. It clarifies the fundamentals upon which Religion is based, and helps us to correctly decode what they are about and how to apply them for the benefit of all creation.
