one might argue that, at least on one understanding, some why questions are answerable by science: e.g. evolutionary biology seems to have something to say about why certain species have certain behaviors: just because they are adaptive. (as formalized in say maynard smith's game-theoretic work)
i once had an argument with a physicist who claimed biology was not a science, however, so perhaps this claim is ill-founded
also, i think that the how-question about the sky's blueness partly answers the why-question, in the sense: `why do we perceive the sky as being blue?' well maybe I am just being obtuse now
