I suppose that, in this sense, we don't really have proof of any scientific
theory, nor could we hope to. Science is not done under a framework of
such logical rigor, it can't be done like that. It's a bit like saying
that a song writer tries every possible combination of notes until he finds
the combination that sounds the best.
