Yep yep yep!
There is a difference between trying to prove you are right and trying to discover what is right then prove that it is right.
Science is the latter. Science doesn't give answers, it looks for them. When an answer seems to be found Science goes about trying to see if that answer is correct. If it's not, it continues searching. If it appears to be correct it tries to find out WHY it's correct (here is where proof comes in).
After all that, Science will continue and look for either a better answer or a deeper answer to something detailed. The process never stops.
That is Science's agenda.
