"there are quite a few examples of science theories that didn't have any practical/observable evidence. a German scientist called Boltzmann (spelling might be wrong) suggested the existence of the atom and he wrote some theories on the atom. there was no observable evidence for the atom at the time and he got laughed at so much he committed suicide. "

I believe that by definition, a scientific theory has to be either testable or falsifiable in some way. Now please don't ask me to test the Theory of Relativity, but the term Theory must be must be differentiated from hypothesis. A theory is widely accepted, while it may not be fact.(Don't read too far into the not being fact thing) A Law is fact.

Exactly. The theory of gravity is widely accepted, but it cannot be proven as fact, it comes soley from speculation. There could very well be a star twice the size of the sun that doesn't have gravity. There could be a fact that only inertia exsists as oppose to gravity. But when you think of it, what goes up does come down and that's gravitiy.

However about Scientific Law, it is this that makes scientists ignorant. Scientific Law only has to do with the physical and natural, but nothing to do with the supernatural and spiritual. This is perfectly fine, but the problem is that because there is no Science to spiritualiaty and supernature, some people regard it as non existant, which is a disease of the Human mind when i think of it. How come when people think of the advances made by ancient men they only think of the scientific, technological, and political and nothing to do with the spiritual. People disregard it as foolishness which is really ignorant. Nowadays we lost our sense of soul. We can't appretiate nature as the wonderful works of God anymore sumply because our scientific jargon has taken it away.

If a child asks you How is there a Rainbow you'd tell them about the light reflecting differently off of the water and dust paricles that float in Earth's space which we know as Air. But what if the child asked you Why are there Rainbows? Would you say the same thing? Doing that would prove your ignorance, or lack of knowledge of the world you dwell in. That is the difference between Science and Nescience. The Laws of the Universe and the Laws of Beyond the Universe.

 The Universal Law of Gravitation or the Law of Gravity has been proven and observed.  Gravity is relative to mass.  We have calculated and confirmed the effects of gravity on other planets.  We have used this to slingshot probes into deep space.  We have also landed on the moon.  Or have we? :)

I don't think any scientist would or should attempt to prove or disprove the existance of God.
