What can science prove?

[Ramsin.Kh]

It depends on what part of science. I mean, mathematics is a formal science which attempts to purely prove a mathematical statement or hypothesis by previous proved theorems or self-evident axioms.
On the other hand, for experimental sciences, we perceive the world through our senses and for getting beyond their limits we use equipments in order to observe what exists. Observed evidence will always exist, for instance: sperm and egg fertilization results fetus, but its educational explanation, even if it's true, will evolve into more depth and comprehensive complexity.
It also depends on what do you exactly mean by proving.

[The_Flying_Skeptic]

I think it's only fair that someone creates a 'What does the Christian Bible prove?' poll or more general 'What can religion prove?' poll since so many theists were eager to point out that 'science proves nothing' when they adhere to dogmas about the universe.

[lrh9]

One methodology that can prove by rigorous proof anything covered under its methodology is mathematics, but it depends on axioms.

If you accept certain axioms then science can prove something.

If you do not accept certain axioms then science cannot prove anything.
