But that doesn't "prove" it because one day you may find some other evidence that shows it to be wrong in some way.

I get what you mean here. But then will you argue that if a theory is not falsifiable, meaning it can't be proved wrong, is not true?

Hi who may concern,

We know that there are mainly two way inductive and deductive reasoning to prove a scientific theory. Inductive reasoning is proving something from observation and generalise it whereas deductive reasoning is another way round. Most of the law and theory are proved by using inductive reasoning. My question is that "is there any scientific theory proved by deductive reasoning?" Thank you.
