Everything you wrote is correct, with the exception of your last sentence. And since we're “on the record”, let me state that NOTHING IN SCIENCE IS PROVEN; that is not how it works. Science is about observations, hypothesis, and testing. The point is not to prove - it is to make accurate assumptions about likelihoods.

The average biologist who has bought Darwinism has almost no ability in mathematics. He can, at best, make irrelevant statements about likelihoods in hope that enough of his colleagues will agree and that consensus becomes the basis for the dissemination of the agreed-upon ignorance.

If nothing in science is proven? Then what value does it have?

Has Science ever "observed" evolution?

They certainly have had plenty of hypothesis's.

Is then therefore science an exercise of a materialistic certainty?

That's all they have, since it is their foundation.

They can evoke the Oort cloud, and Dark Matter and Energy to explain a paradox.

But they still have no understanding of what gives particles mass.

The Higgs, the "God particle" the empty space that keeps you from slipping though your chair.

I know, lets create a multi-verse, that will show them.

Prove it.

It seems we have gone full circle.

"For the scientist who has lived by his faith in the power of reason, the story ends like a bad dream. He has scaled the mountain of ignorance; he is about to conquer the highest peak; as he pulls himself over the final rock, he is greeted by a band of theologians who have been sitting there for centuries."

Robert Jastrow (September 7, 1925 – February 8, 2008) was an American astronomer, physicist and cosmologist. He was a leading NASA scientist, populist author and futurist.

That’s true. Science can never prove anything. Science just guesses. The best science can do is guess. A hypothesis can never be proved but it can be disproved with a single test. Soft tissue found in dinosaurs prove that dinosaurs are not millions of years old.
