Ugh... people still have no idea what the word proof means.

Science uses INDUCTIVE logic.

Proof can only be obtained through DEDUCTIVE logic.

Ironic isn't it?  You post a picture of animals in a zoo and here you are in your own little zoo.

That is not true, science uses deductive logic from the laws of nature. Also, nothing in science is proof, because it is tentative. When people thought the world was flat, they were wrong. When people thought the world was spherical, they were wrong. But if you think that thinking the earth is still flat, then your view is wronger than both of them put together. This is how science works, it gives the best evidence and latest for its opinions. Only religion gives absolute knowledge and proof with their dogma. Solitary

Any conclusion that is reached through sound deductive reasoning is true with no exceptions.

Also:
P1) Science uses empiricism as a base
P2) Empiricism is induction
C) Science uses induction

That is what inductive reasoning is...

One could explain this away by saying it is learned behavior from a trainer (since it is in a zoo). There are far more convincing and solid sources of evolutionary evidence (genetics, for one), so I'll stick with those.

And need of solace, we grew self-deceived,
Our making soon our maker did we deem,
And what we had imagined we believed."
