This is not entirely accurate. Here's why... scientists are perfectly well aware that not all that is true is provable. In fact Kurt Godel (famous mathematician and good friend of Einstein) stated the famous incompleteness theorem. It proves that unprovable truths exist. So all that is true is not all that is provable. However, you do not, as a matter of sentential and existencial logic, get to use this theorem to justify anything you please based on "it can't be disproven". I coudl say that when I do this (jesticulating wildly) it keeps the elephants away. There are no elephants so you cannot prove that my actions aren't responsible for their abscence. That's a logical fallacy.

Why must Science and spirituality be mutually exclusive? THe drive to do Science is the same drive that motivates the artist.... to project some sense of beauty into the world. :)
