It's 'subjective' in the sense it is based on what people have found (imperfect people - no one's perfect) and isn't absolutely proven beyond a doubt.But this has nothing to do with the issue you are trying to circumvent. It's subjective what constitutes "subjective proof". Therefore, anyone can subjectively prove anything, but those are only abstractions of the mind, unless he has proper basicality for an objective epistemic foundation which transcends subjective abstractions.

I'm asking for 'objective' evidence as in strong unbiased evidence - if it's ever fair for the word 'objective' to be used correctly, it is correct to say science is objective (on the whole).You'd say that, because its a subjective judgement of yours that certain things are objective. But that is still subjective. Unless you can provide proper basicality in your epistemic structure for an objective epistemic foundation which transcends all minds (God).
