Words mean different things in different contexts. Hence it should not be surprising that the word "prove" means something different in the scientific context than it does in a legal context, or in an everyday context.
Haeckel’s embryos were known to be fraudulent over 100 years ago but they were used in text books(by people who knew they were frauds) until the DI and Wells exposed their lies and dishonesty.
But we're talking about science so I am going to be very careful about using that word, especially since the creationists like to use it wrongly to discredit evolution.
A simple empirical result.
Now you're talking science again. Science can show results, but even those are subect to our fallible observational skills.
What really gets me is that only the ET theory is allowed to be taught in the government schools, and ID scientists get persecuted for even mentioning ID.
Gonzalez said” if they value their careers, they should keep quiet about their ID views”
