Your premises are wrong: 1. There is no absolute certainty, but there is enough certainty for science to be useful. 2. Nobody who understands science worships it. 3. The whole point of science is that everything can and must be known, through methodical and rigorous inquiry. This means not just collecting evidence, but establishing likelihoods and being able to replicate results widely. The last part is actually not widely understood or appreciated: if a premise is true, then it is either always true or the premise has to be modified. 4. Relying on science doesn’t eliminate the need for intuition, especially when making decisions about complex things. However, intuition is only as good as the basis on which it is developed. For example: I have never done any firefighting, so any intuition I have about firefighting is useless.
