I'll photon's example of the invisible unicorn. I'm saying that there are invisble unicorns. I"ll give you a million dollars to prove me wrong. You wouldn't be able to prove me wrong, but I wouldn't be able to prove it's right either. So Science would say that there is no such thing as invisible unicorns. The way Science works is that you first have to prove something before you can claim its true.

Not necessarily. Isn't null hypothesis a common statistical test that is the exact opposite? Where you assume something to be true, and you keep testing it until it's either proven false, or falls within an probability that is statistically true?
