The scientific method is a tool for exploring the world.
Science never is certain of anything. Everything is basically "our best guess, based on these observations and the best theoretical framework we have available today".
Science can't provide value judgements.
e.g., "Is Fracking Good or Bad?" Science is useless at answering that.

The Scientific method has a rather limited domain of applicability.
Science cannot explain consciousness. "The Hard Problem". Science cannot deal with one time events, massive objects, long distances or time scales, tiny objects, events in the past, ontological questions, matters dealing with human emotions, meaning, or quality of being, Whether God exits: Science is useless for all of this.
Science is also not a popularity contest. Science is not ruled by consensus.
Now one could argue that PRACTICALLY it is, but the truth is the truth even if no one agrees.
