What's your definition of a "science based on a best guess mentality"?
If by that you want to mean a science that employs "statistical models", then yes: I quite believe that statistical models are useful indeed - without them you would not have the computer on which you are typing your message, nor your air conditioning.
You would probably not even want to take a life-saving drung, because clinical trials are also based on statistical models ("best guesses" as you call them, and it's a decent wording and not an insult at all for any science. Best guesses in science are what make you now live 80 years instead of 35 just a little time ago).
