….is an oxymoron. Science provides no proof. Proof has nothing to do with science. It disappoints me that so many people still don’t understand this.
Science is a method of enquiry. It generates explanation and theory, not proof. No theory is ever proven, but either supported or refuted by observed data. That there is always doubt, always an opportunity to revise and reassess, is science’s greatest strength and why it has shown itself so spectacularly successful.
