The purpose of science is to discover the principles by which physical reality can be understood. Everything from Ohm's law to the periodic table is knowledge by which the behavior of things can be predicted with absolute certainty within limits of uncertainty.

There. Fixed it for you. You should know by now that science is a tentative business and that is does not deal in absolute certainty. That, to the discomfort of philosophers, does not exists in science.
