Perhaps you misunderstand what science is?

Science is not our current knowledge about reality, Science is a system for inquiring into how things work. If something (eg. LoA) works (ie. physically affects reality), then science can investigate and verify it.

There are a few things that are currently uninvestigatable by science: anything that exists outside the laws of the known universe (eg. "God") or anything impacted by human thought. The former will probably never be accessible to science, but as our understanding of the human brain improves, we should be able to scientifically test corrolation between particular thought states and other events.
