In fact science has no way to have absolute certainty of anything because all its conclusions are falsifiable. For example, when science says phlogiston does not exist, it is not for it to be 100% sure that it does not exist, but because it is more prudent to consider that it does not exist until proven otherwise. The inexistence is the rule and the existence is the exception, and that the existence of phlogiston is not necessary to explain absolutely nothing of the natural world. The same can be said about God, it is a hypothesis to "explain" things of the natural world, but nowadays it is no longer needed. All supernaturalism is unnecessary for science.

_"unnecessary for Science"_
... which says nothing about what else may exist that Science has recused itself from studying.
You have a hidden assumption that if Science can't study it, it can't exist.
Foolish mortal.  :o)

Science will never have absolute certainty about anything, not even if the sun will rise tomorrow, or if the airplane will fly or fall. But it can tell you what is prudent and reasonable to believe. That is why you can travel by plane.

Science is all about reasonable beliefs, not about absolute certainties.
