Assuming you are referring to absolute proof, it is because absolute proof is scientifically impossible. It is always possible, however unlikely, that all collected data is coincidental, and that the complete opposite of what is expected may happen.

Can scientists prove dinosaurs walked the Earth?

Sometimes people say, "Scientists can't prove anything! They can't prove anything they haven't actually observed. So they can't prove dinosaurs walked the Earth!"But is this true? Yes, it's always possible scientists have got something wrong. But of course, that doesn't mean they don't have excellent evidence - good enough that they're justified in feeling sure.After all, in court, people are to prison for committing crimes no one else saw them commit. But if the evidence is strong enough, the judge and jury are still justified in sending the person to jail. We say the person is proved guilty beyong reasonable doubt.Scientists can also prove things beyond reasonable doubt. They can prove beyond reasonable doubt that dinosaurs walked the Earth.
