Induction should not be argued as a problem for science, but as a problem for all knowledge. Science makes predictions based on the assumption that it's theories are plausible representations of reality, and that assumption can be falsified by a contrary result. What field of science asserts knowledge of absolute truth?
None, that's left for religion to do.
It is those who know little, and not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science. -- Charles Darwin |
