The difference between science and philosophy is that science gives proof of its assertions.

Alright then, please give me three examples of scientific theories that have been demonstrably proven. Should be easy, if scientific theories really are proven, as you insist. Why do you stall?

The theory that heavier-than-air powered flight is possible has been demonstrably proven. At least one mathematical proof that it was not possible had previously been offered (Simon Newcomb). Asked to comment, Orville Wright said something like 'our proof seems to fly better than the good doctor's...'
The theory that the Earth is round has been demonstrably proven. That one was no more than a theory 550 years ago.
The theory that the mechanism of a repeating rifle could be operated by the exhaust gas of the rifle itself has been demonstrably proven.

The theorems of mathematics are all rigidly proven....

Gravity's been proven experimentally! Wait, no, we're still not sure on that one...
Relativity's been proven experimentally! Wait, no, there's problems with that one too...
Quantum Theory! We've even built quantum computers that work, this has to be true! No, that one isn't proven either.
