Is it a fact that science can not prove everything?

There were such. That the Earth is a sphere was discovered by the Greeks by experiment for example, but some believed for another 2000 years that it was flat.

The Earth was a sphere described in the Quran also, until recently..people thought it was flat.
Same would go to the Asexual reproduction, Human Embryonic Development, Mountains, moon's reflected light, rotating of the Earth and the list is very long to be listed.

In fact knowledge progresses like this.
The Earth is flat.
The Earth is a sphere.
The Earth is an oblate spheroid.
The Earth is shaped like a potato.

“And the earth, moreover,
hath He made egg shaped.”
[Al-Qur’an 79:30]
The Arabic word for egg here is dahaahaa1 which means an ostrich-egg. The shape of an ostrich-egg resembles the geo-spherical shape of the earth.
Thus the Qur’an correctly describes the shape of the earth, though the prevalent notion when the Qur’an was revealed was that the earth was flat.
In early times, people believed that the earth wasflat. For centuries, men were afraid to venture outtoo far, for fear of falling off the edge! Sir Francis Drake was the first person who proved that the earth is spherical when he sailed around it in 1597.

I think the Greeks were the first to say it was spherical. someone may have done it earlier.
