The limitations of science among the provided responses are:

  1. Experiments get us close to natural events, but there is no substitute for the real thing.
  2. Science is not capable of making value judgments.

These two statements highlight the limitations of scientific inquiry: the inability to replicate every natural event perfectly in a controlled setting and the objective nature of science, which does not account for subjective values or ethical considerations.

The statement "Science is always changing" reflects the evolving nature of scientific understanding and knowledge, but does not necessarily represent a limitation. Rather, it indicates the adaptability and refinement of scientific theories over time.
