As far as I’m aware, there are no experts who claim to be omniscient, wherefore we must always consider that there may be variables uncontrolled for and information left out.
Atheists, how are you sure that any of the science is the truth? How can you tell? When we have no choice but to accept given after given to try to understand what we’re observing, how can we ever know anything for sure? When “scientific facts” often don’t live up to their predictions, how can we trust? There are many claims about the truth of reality, and many people who pose themselves as experts capable of making such claims. As for me, however, I trust that I perceive. I trust that I observe and form opinion. Beyond that, I humbly admit that I am ignorant with regard to the truth.
How are you so confident?
Science does not claim to be omniscient. Science can only measure what is observable. When evaluating a scientific claim, you must look at the methods that the scientist used to reach his or her conclusion. In science, there is no absolute truth. Science can only reach tentative conclusions based on what is presently observable. There is no absolute truth in science because there are always unanswered questions remaining after something is proven.
No offense, but you have it all backwards. In science, if you can't show it, you don't know it. If scientific facts don't live up to their conclusions, then those scientific theories are discarded. The peer review process is very, very thorough and I don't think any single scientific theory is 100% proven.

Judge John Jones proved that ID is not science in the court case, Kitzmiller vs. Dover. That "Intelligent Designer" could only be the Christian god. Intelligent Design is also not science because all religions define God as an anthropomorphic genie that defies the laws of physics. Thus, science cannot measure it.
