The thing is, science is <i>full</i> of beliefs. Everything that's a theory is something that hasn't been proven, but is our best explanation at this point. Exactly what gravity is is still theoretical at this point. We're able to use things based on theories, but that doesn't prove them.

So the distinction is a bit blurry. Especially since science can only exist in the realm if what's measurable or testable. That doesn't make beliefs in things outside that realm untrue, it makes them unknowable with current technology.
