Scientists don't prove anything. Ever. Please. That is not the nature of science. Every claim that 'scienctists have proven...' is simply false. Science works differently. Less likely theories are distinguished from more likely ones, and the most likely theory is typically taken as the working hypothesis of the day. This isn't nitpicking. Any paragraph that begins 'scientists have proven...' consigns itself to the bin of tabloid nonsense immediately.
