It seems that ever since Darwin postulated that evolution occurred etc by using “let’s assume” over 100 times to get to that theory, that scientific method has died. Now, everyone simply reduces the unknowns by using “let’s assume” simplifications.
Example- why do tyrannosaur fossils have sharp teeth? Because they ate flesh.... No facts in evidence, and science, like jurisprudence, must base facts on evidence, not appearance, anecdotals or similarity.
We are returning to the dark ages, alchemy and astrology are the new sciences.
Modern science -- natural science -- begins with two great assumptions:
So far from being the "death of science" these are the foundation assumptions on which natural science is built.
Manly Warrior: "Example- why do tyrannosaur fossils have sharp teeth?

But there is tons of evidence supporting the idea of Tyranisaurs as flesh eaters, beginning with sharp, pointy serated teeth, like steak knives.
Anywhere such teeth are found in nature today, they belong to flesh eaters.
Herbivore teeth are very different.
But perhaps it will ease your mind to be reminded that anything science can observe is called a fact.
Confirmed explanations of facts (i.e. evolution) are called theories.
Flesh eating Tyranisaurs is a theory, but when a broken Tyranisaur tooth is found in the bone of a Herbivore, that makes it more than "just theory".
