Science the theory? Yes.
However, in reality science is practiced by flawed and biased humans. Humans that are influenced by the nature of their context. And then the proof is measured against that paradigm.
Slightly off topic, I listened to this yesterday
"Lera Boroditsky. She studies how the structure of the languages we speak can change the way we see the world."
The point being, science - which depends on language - in practice isn't immune to influence.
