No, the scientific method requires proof both for a positive and for a negative answer. If we can't prove neither, all we can say is that we don't know whether something is true or false. Think i.e. about Riemann's hypothesis or the Collatz conjecture: should we say those are wrong because no one so far proved them to be correct?
