i would only change one thing in your statement:

As proof is not always a clear cut act, sometimes a high probability of an event or object is all you will be able to come up with...

Yes, I would go futher to state that no scientific theory is ever proven to be true. Experimental results or observations confirm a theory, or dis-prove a theory, but do not prove the theory is true. That is why theories and hypothesis must be carefully stated in a particular way in order to be scientific. Proofs are in mathematics.
