I. THE NATURE OF SCIENTIFIC PROOF
A. Is there proof in science?
1. In the sense that the word proof is used in mathematics and philosophy, nothing
is ever proven in science. There is always some uncertainty about the actual value of results
obtained from some experiment or their interpretation.

Honestly - I think that first excerpt is horseshit. #1, from a Catholic junior college - we know how well science and religion mix - #2, actually saying you can "prove" philosophy? Really? C'mon....I'm pretty sure the entire point of Philosophy is to ponder answers to questions that can't be answered, have never been answered, and will never be answered (such as: "why are we here?"). So you're telling me you can prove that now?
Awesome.
So....you're saying you can't prove that combining 2 Hydrogen atoms and 1 Oxygen atom will give you a molecule of water?
You're bordering on trolling now - arguing just for the sake of dragging out an argument on a topic that you just can't bear to admit that you were wrong on....wake up dude, the PROOF is right in front of you that your hero junk scientists have been lying and doctoring data to suit their agenda for YEARS.
