Scientific information is generally determined using inductive reasoning. An example of this would be: You are fishing in a lake. You catch 50 fish and all of them are bass. You then conclude that all of the fish in the lake are bass.

If you haven't actually caught all the fish in the lake, then you can't know for sure that all of the fish are bass, but if you take a larger and larger sample size, then you can become more certain.

For this reason, many things in science can not be conclusively proven.

There is not necessarily "true science". There is just science. And false science is simply non science, that is clamed as science.Scientific method: A method of procedure that has characterized natural science since the 17th century, consisting in systematic observation, measurement, and experiment, and the formulation, testing, and modification of hypotheses.So, however limited a proven hypothesis is, it can always be improved by the same scientific method that brought the first one about.So, false science is, above all, not systematic. Or anything that can not be, ether proven, or disproven by the scientific method; and, or, by any other systematic reasoning.
