It's important to understand what Feynman means.

He is not saying that religion actually answers questions that science can't answer.

He is saying that as long as there are things we can't answer human nature will be to create a deity for the gaps.

That is two very different positions. It's not that science can't answer certain questions it's that science can't fulfill human needs for answers.

Mind the difference.
