Sure...after all, we might be wrong about that whole germ theory thing...it's not proven, somebody may come along and falsify it.

That is how science works and that is why they are theories not facts or laws.

If I take a ball and drop it, am I proving the Law of Gravity? Einstein showed that gravity is a distortion of space.

Actually, I guess I'm not done yet.

Given the evidence on the tabe currently, how would you falsify germ theory? (Note: Don't take any advice from Billl Maher on this answer.)
