Science can examine claims that are capable of being proven false; i.e., ones in which the null hypothesis can be disproved. For example, one cannot prove false the idea that a flying spaghetti monster is running the world, but one can prove false the idea that squirrels use photosynthesis to derive energy, and find instead that they use oxygen.

How does the scientific method contribute to scientific integrity?
Though its rigorous 'rules' regarding what falls under good science, read 'science with integrity.' Namely, this is through a strong sense of empiricism via a focus on provable claims, repeatable tests, and a strong peer review system. 'Provable claims' disallows a science based on mythology, allowing only 'scientific' type ideas to enter the realm of 'good science' (this is hard to fully pin down as there may be many instances of good science that did not start with provable claims, none the less, it is considered important to have such). 'Repeatable tests' and 'peer review' ensures science is not built on false data. First, the scientist repeats their experiments until the data is strongly conclusive. Second, they send their data off to be reviewed by experts who will do their best to poke holes in it. It is by this way that science moves from claim to test to review to theory in such a way that 'bad' science rarely finds a foothold.
