Romansh: In science I don't accept proof; I accept evidence. Science does not reach the truth. I have been saying this all along.-Fair enough. Evidence then becomes a scaffolding on which we build more and more knowledge about the reality in which we live. But that sounds shakey to me. At what point do you accept the idea that the evidence is solid enough to view as factual, or is there always a doubt? Do enough confirmatory studies suffice? For you are there any truths?
