Prove? Correlation?

Correlation is not causality.

Nothing in science is subject to “proof” only disproof.

All one has to do is propose a natural explanation for a natural phenomena and propose and carry out tests that would falsify this hypothetical explanation; THEN it would be science.

With the exception of Evolution of course.

Actually, all an evolutionist has to do is propose a naturalistic explanation. No tests or research is necessary.
