Okay, show me an experiment that verifies our intuitive notion of causation. Cause is a philosophical principle that exists like I said only in our heads and it's a question about the future. If I do this, this will happen. Science is about evidence, experiments, and the past: we did this and this happened.
If you are going to be doing science, you will not prove causal links. You will develop a theory which explains some phenomenon and implies some predictive assertions and then provide evidence for that theory and test the assertions. Cause is much deeper than science can currently tread.
