If that is how you conceive of "wisdom", sure, and I can see where you are coming from. It looks at limited notions of wholes (the whole of a chain of logical steps).
However, wholes are nested. The computer you are using to read these words, wherever you are, are part of a larger whole. Further, there is a paradox in which, while parts make up the whole, it's the whole that makes the parts.
Taking those all the way, "The" Whole in which all wholes are parts of, then, is boundless (no edge), and it is beginningless, (no causal origin).
My understanding of the scientific method is that it is ultimately limited in what it can find. It is not necessarily true that the scientific method is capable of explaining everything, though it is broadly applicable. That method is very good for analysis, but not synthesis, and focused on the origin in causal chains rather than the teleos.
