"Science" is a lot of human activities mushed together and there's not "one true way" that it works, except that it is universally done by humans (so far), with all the good and bad that come with that.

True.

False.
> It may not indicate with absolute certainty whether there is or isn't one
Nobody has ever cared about "absolute certainty" and science never seriously claims this.
> you cannot say its existence is more likely based on lack of evidence for it
Yes you can! (I charitably assume you meant less likely here, otherwise the entire comment makes no sense, is arguing against a trivial falsehood nobody has ever claimed (certainly not OP), and you had no reason to post it)
> that is superstition
No, it's Bayesian logic; it's the only way humans have ever acquired knowledge.
