We have scientifical examples, we have theorys, we have a lot of cool stuff. Faith, however, is not among them.
That is why science is never claiming to be 100% correct. Science is just saying "this is the way we think things works from the scientifical results we have at this time".
You seem to have got the very basics of science fundamentaly wrong.
That is the difference between science and religion, science dont claim to know the truth of things. Science strives to LEARN the truth though, and get better at it every minute.
But no, you will not in your lifetime have science proving any religion, or madman, wrong.
That is the wonder of this world! If some lunatic wants to believe that the planets spin the way they do because pink elephants stampeted by, then they are free to believe so! Science can not, actually, prove these lunatics are wrong.
Sure, if someone claims this I might consider him a lunatic from what I have seen of the world, but I can not prove him wrong.
