you cant scientifically prove or disprove faith. You sentence contradicts itself. Thas like saying a soft diamond. Or a tiny giant. Science is not based on assumptions and is certainly not philosophical/religious. You seem to have a keen mind, and an interesting out of the box way of thinking about stuff. I think you just confusing yourself though a bit.

History is not a science. You are mislabeling science. How would you repeat an experiment with Alexander the Great? It would be impossible. There is no such thing as “historical science”

Oh really, does science assume that there is a reality outside of the observer?

When I say historical science, I am refering to the various branches of science that attempt to reconstruct the past. And since you mention Alexander the Great, one of the historical sciences that would be utilized to study the history of Alexander would be archeology.

The historical sciences also include historical linguistics, evolutionary biology, phylogenetics, geology, cosmology, etc, etc.
