Sorry Rodger, but this is incorrect as well (and a pet peeve of mine).

Science, with the exception of some Mathematics, does not ever "prove" 
anything.  Science is function of disproof.  Accepted theories are only 
accepted after ALL the alternative theories are proven false. But still 
they are only considered accepted theories, never a "proof". 

So to restate your sentence correctly one could say "Science is based on 
disproving the negative based on repeatable results."

For some reason it seems that few people other then scientists 
understand this vital concept.

Science is based on proving a positive based on repeatable results. This is why any religious belief should be separate from science. Both have value but should not be mixed together.
