Are you saying that the "theory" of gravity is not proven? Are you saying the "theory" of atomic energy is not proven too? Shall I go on. There is much that is proven as it is replicated and even put into action. Are you serious that yuu believe science proves nothing?
Just because something is a theory does not atuomatically follow it is only half true or requires proof. Many things are true 100%. The thoery of light and why rainbows ocurr. Another proff and even little children in a classroom can reproduce this in an experiment and show it is true. Are you serious about science not proving anything?
Yes. Science does not prove anything.

Ever heard the famous sherlock holmes quote: "Once you eliminate the possible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth."

That is the essence of the scientific method. All of the laws/theories you stated are NOT proven. This is the value of the scientific path and why it is so different from dogmatic paths. You can make abstract proofs in mathematics using axioms. Science does not deal with proof, however. It deals with evidence.
