And string theory is not considered proven and even in some circles is not considered science.

No theory is considered proved.

String theory is considered science as long as it follows the scientific method. It might turn out to be disproved, but as long as it follows the scientific method, why should it not be considered as science?

Because string theory does not make testable predictions. Many require a theory to be testable before it is considered science.

How would you falsify string theory?
