How does one saying "this is not proven; it's just a theory" differ from

a
scientific theory? Not all scientific theories are proven.


Correction. No scientific theory is proven, nor can it be.


So...maths is not science?

Actually, no. Math creates its own worlds, science studies the
observable one we have. Math deduces outcomes from premises defined to
be true. Science observes outcomes and attempts to induce the
premises.
