Science is no more "proven" an institution than faith.

Funny how materialism when challenged ends up in complete skepticism. Funny how those who say they know everything, when tested, have to admit they know nothing.

There is a vast difference, which you seem unable to fathom, between not being able to prove something, and not knowing something. Conditional knowledge is not a disease, it is the natural human condition.

Aaah, always with the semantics. Well many things have been scientifically proven beyond doubt. One is gravity which we have been discussing. Gravity is a fact of life, an indubitable fact of life beyond denial. Numerous experiments prove it, just living a single day proves it. To deny that gravity is a fact is to deny reality. Evolution however is not a fact. It does not even deserve the name of Theory since it has never been observed and science is about observations. It is for this reason that evolutionists retreat into skepticism when challenged - they cannot give scientific evidence for their so-called 'theory' so they feel forced to deny the validity of all science.
