This brings up a serious question. Can a person with a scientific
mind set ever have the "certainty" that seems to be required for peak
performance in many fields of endeavor?

Religious "faith" is the most common approach to the "need" for
certainty. I am not talking about the "comforting" aspects of "certainty"
and "faith", but the apparent advantages in "programming" behaviour be it
athletics, business, career...stiving of any and all sorts!
