The convenient philosophical principle is espoused THROUGHOUT Science.
Indeed, every astronomy book is, as you say, careful to point out that 'the earth goes around the sun' can never be proven.
Are you one of those FR Creationists who thinks the Sun circles the Earth?
And yes, it is still called the Heliocentric Theory, not the Heliocentric Truth, even though all observations and facts provide evidence in support of the theory.

There’s no biolgical proof that abstaining from food causes death- Cells aparently survive just fine without energy input because ‘there’s no proofs in science’ - Dying cells right before our eyes is just a hypothesis- can’t be proven- (Unless you count actual eyewitness as proof- but hten again- there’s nothign proving eyewitnesses exist- so there again- nothign in science can be proven- unless you set out a video tape recorder to record it- but then again, video tapes don’t exist either- so there again, no proofs i nscience- Sheesh- science is doomed.
Allmen, I think you don’t exist- therefore you don’t, and hterefore your statements are irrelevent, because there’s no scientific proof that you ever asked them or made hte claims in the first place. Nihilism- nothign exists- we’re all just figments of our own imaginations (which incidently must not exist either), so why carry on?
