Science can never 'predict exactly'; it can only be really, really sure.

Not without FIRST assuming that nature is uniform. If nature is not FIRST assumed to be uniform ALL bets are off.

I base it on the fact that everything I, and every other scientist, has ever observed is in line with such an assumption.

You mean HAS BEEN in line with such an assumption (ignoring the God-like claim that you know what 'every other' scientist has observed). Saying that the future is like the past, because it has always been like that in the past is 'BEGGING THE QUESTION.' Sure you can say that if the law is violated, you will examine the 'anomaly,' but don't you see that calling it an 'anomally' exposes your presupposition that nature IS uniform?

Let me put this in simpler terms...Is the past a guide to the future?
