Basically the way science looks at it is that anything that is not directly observed may be false.
There is no way to directly observe a theory or a law and as such any law or theory may be false.
As such if we view light traveling at the same speed a billion times and then find it traveling at half that speed - then light does not always travel at the same speed. If we observe the conservation of energy a billion times and then we directly observe that energy is generated in a system - conservation of energy does not always hold.
Laws and theories can be broken in science, naturalism cannot be broken in science. As far as scientific theories and laws go, nothing is holy. (Yes I know that was a fantastically lame pun =P)
