No, and this is core to the point: Science has found no universal "utility" function that applies to all humans. As such its impossible for science to maximize utility, or in laymens terms "outcomes" globally for all humans. We must choose what we find important and there is no scientific tool to do so. Once you've decided what's important sure you can apply science to help you make the best decisions to achieve that outcome.
