Erm... no, not really.

I'd say, science it is the study of how we can describe the world in a 
manner that allows for reliable predictions.

There is only one branch of science that deals with stuff that can be 
proven, and that's mathematics. Even that one relies on axioms that may, 
or may not, be actually true.

In all other branches, proof can never be achieved. Disproof may, however.

Fully agree on that one.

In my above definition of science however, it's not because we can't 
prove or disprove his/her/their existence, but because that matter 
doesn't get us anywhere in our predictions. (There's even a lot of 
scripture on this matter.)
