I often find it funny how some scientists deride religion because it fails to meet scientific standards but will stand firm on accepted theories that truly can not be proven right or wrong. Hmmm, sounds like faith to me.

Oh, you can do a lot of proving. Contriving large-scale experiments with astronomy is a *****, but in that respect its not that different from geology or any of the other sciences that involve large-scale processes.

So instead you make models, poke with them, use them to make predictions, and (important step religion leaves out) use them to make predictions. You can test THOSE against reality to see if they match. We can't really test if its possible to exceed C yet, but we can -and have- tested time dilation. Etc.
