Two lists. List A, that which we can "prove exist" by the scientific, empirical evidence and list B, that which cannot be "proven" by empirical evidence.
List A, The "Empirically provable":
Fungi
Bacteria
Urinary tract Infections
Yeast Infections
Athlete's Foot
The element Uranium
Sulfuric Acid
Germs
Hemeroids
List B, That which is not "Empirically Provable":
Beauty
Delicious tastes
Pleasent Smells
Love
Humor
Contenment
Wonderful Music
Hope
Fun
GOD
Ever notice how the best things in life are rarely "provable" via the "empirical evidence"? so then is it just me, or does GOD appear to be in rather good company?

You ever notice how people don't seem to understand the difference between a word that describes an object, and a word that describes an opinion... (excluding god, I can label anything as a god)

Yeah. Your non provable list is just basically opinions. One person my find beauty in a snow covered mountain while the next sees it as an icy death trap. Opinions.
Empirical Evidence in Scientific Research
Scientific evidence is considered empirical when it can be observed by many people and all will agree as to what they observed. An example would be reading a thermometer. No matter who observes the thermometer, it still displays the same temperature. The counterexample to this is physically sensing warmth or coolness. Observer A might sense that a room is warm, while observer B senses that the same room is cool. These observations differ depending on the observer, and are therefore considered subjective. Evidence that is not dependent on the observer (i.e., is objective), that appears the same no matter who observes the evidence, is considered to be empirical evidence.

So, then, love, delicious food, and wonderful music do not exist in your reality? Or are there some people's who's reality they do exist in, but not in others?
Then we are in agreement.
