Of course. Falsifiablity is the basic law of thinking behind science, that's also why religion doesn't have any scientific value: it can't be falsified.

Man, yall are just pulling stuff out your asses now huh? So science is science because it can be falsified? Ive heard everything.
Actually, the existence of something beyond the physical, spirit world, etc and other dimensions, can be experienced and observed. The physical world is only 1% of the seeable', knowable, universe, the other 99% of it lies beyond the five senses.

To quote Sherlock Holmes
"Once you eliminate the impossible, the possible, however, unlikely remains"
or something like that

Good point. Thats a good quote but, apply that to scientist and the Mars situation. Without any evidence and really no way of truly finding out yet that water exists on Mars (until they had the technology), how could scientist eliminate the impossible? All they could really do for years was look at Mars through a telescope. How can they eliminate the impossible by only doing that?
If you have no means and no way of determining the impossible then you have no way to find out the possible.

I didn't invent that law, y'know....it's a widely accepted philosophical argument. I snatched this of some site, maybe this makes it a little bit clearer:
This is why science can (and must!) disprove its own findings...in a way, it's doomed to do so. It's an interesting philosophical discussion.

And philosophy is the lifeblood of science and everything else.
