So science is incapable of saying, for example, that raising my cup to my lips allows me to drink coffee, since we can't yet describe that from quantum phenomena upwards? What a pointless method of study.

A pointless method of study that's responsible for building the world you see around you, including the computer you're using for this conversation.
In science the problem is not getting the answers, it's being sufficiently skeptical of those who think they already have the answers.

But that's not true -- we can describe it, but we can't explain it. Literature describes, science explains. Good science resists premature explanation.
