Sort of, the scientific method isnt that simple.. you cant just assume that because something has happened in the past it will happen in the future. You need a hypothesis as to why, an understanding, test the edge cases, and then understand the pattern well enough to say what it will do in the future and also what factors may cause it to stop doing that in the future.

For example the scientific method has allowed us to create a theory of gravitation, and we know that unless the sun goes super novae or some other massive body enters the solar system, it is likely to continue on course. In other words, the difference between now and in the anctient past is now we actually have a working theory, not just an assumption that things will remain unchanged just cause we never saw it change.
