Actually, it is science. People who speak with 100% certainty are the ones that raise flags.

Yes it is. Making hypothesis based on evidence and testing them. Not assuming certainty. That's how it works.

No real scientist claims to have all the answers, or puts more weight on his hypotheses than they deserve.
Words like "may" and "suggest" tell us we are looking at interesting hypotheses, not confirmed theories or observed facts.

Taken with the appropriate understandings, I think it's all fine.

It called the art of extrapolation, from dust to an incredbily complex universe, and all by chance and circumstances, while intelligent design is rejected as science.
