Ever heard of circular reasoning?If that's circular than mathematics is circular. In fact a body of tenets, such as theology or mathematics, can be disproven through showing inconsistencies between tenets. In fact this is a valid and widely used method for disproving proposed tenets in mathematics.
If you wish ... I disagree.

That could be said of any endeavour that uses math (which as you imply is not strictly speaking science), the math is merely a tool ... the evidence is empirical, accumulated and inductive.
