We do well to remember what exactly is the scientific method. Briefly one makes an hypothesis. One devises an experiment that will either prove or disprove the hypothesis. One records the data that determines whether the hypothesis is proved or disproved. The experiment can be repeated and the results observed by others. At this point we may have some verifiable proof. Everything else is conjecture, argument, or assumption.
