Evidence is not wrong.

Then if the evidence is is not wrong it is proof I was told that proof is not what science was about I would say that theory needs evidence and evidence is proof if it is not wrong. What is wrong with proof?

A theory cannot be proven to be correct.  A theory is the best explanation for observations and experimental results.    Evidence that supports the theory does not prove the theory it only supports it.  Evidence or experimentation that is counter to the theory can prove that the theory is not correct.
It is along the lines that it is not possible to prove a negative.

I play with many toys life is too short. I think I would have to live for a thousand years to consider myself knowledgeable and even then I would know very little about all. It is better to know a little bit about everything but I know all about nothing.
