"Proofs" in Science is a misnomer, though, isn't it? You don't "prove" something with science, you simply construct a theory that matches closest to reality based on experimental data. Science doesn't prove, it provides a framework for inquiry.


Exactly, philosophy and math provide proofs based on axioms - science is all empiricism and induction; it provides predictions based on our current context.
