Is science too much about assumptions?

show me where it says assume in the scientific method. only assumption is that it works which is demonstrably true by applied science - medicine works, computers compute, planes fly.

1. Observe
2. Hypothesize
3. Test
4. Results
5. Conclusions

any assumption is negated by TEST, you can assume contrary to the results but the results are not subject to your whims only subject to nature it

Nice fact. But you know well as i do that science is making assumptions and state them as near truths. Like the big bang theory. 

bbt isnt an assumption. I think your issue is you dont understand hypothesis (speculation/guess/assumption whatever) from theory (supported by facts and evidence).

examples of theories you do regard as fact:

germ theory
heliocentric theory
atomic theory
gravitational theory

some theories have better support than others. dont let the word theory confuse you. science will never claim a theory is a fact because science only offers probabilities because it relies on induction rather than deduction.

thx. not sarcastic.
