"Nothing can be proved by science. Science only provides a method for explanation not proof."

Hmmm. well science has proved the earth is round, that the planets rotate around the sun, that dinosaurs existed...etc etc

How about this..."Maybe there are some things that just cannot be explained through science."

Maybe space-time is merely warped to make the earth look round?

When and where?

..."Maybe there are some things that just cannot be explained through science."

How about this, we start with the definition of science and its method. Science is the observation of a material thing that exists in nature (fact) and there is evidence and empirical evidence for the fact and would provide a logical explanation (theory) for the observance of the fact. You are correct, science cannot explain everything. By definition it cannot explain the unknown or something that occurs that is not of a material existence. It cannot explain any faith or belief of the unknown or gravity. Faith and belief are observed by philosophy, gravity is observed by mathematics.
