I can't speak for everyone but there are a variety of reasons to place some level of trust or confidence in scientific methodology and when testing for phenomena like for example gravity its useful meaningful knowledge as opposed to absolute certainty which is a fool's errand quite frankly because you can’t know anything for sure in that context.
It's not like science just stops working on occasion like when I drop a pen for example it will fall at 9.81 m/s2. There are principles in the method like reproducibility and repeatability which can be carried by anyone curious enough to undertake the experiment with the same item under the same conditions.
