Because absolutes are a logical /abstract concept ... they don't exist in reality. In fact the idea that science is not absolute is perhaps it's greatest strength.
EDIT: Thinking about what Ev said, I suppose it's rather more true to say that whilst absolutes may exist inductive reasoning is unable to say whether something is absolute.
