Science is based on logic and logically can be reasoned to be true. At the same time some of it just hasn’t been proven to be true and is simply accepted as Truth

Could you give an example of what you have in mind when you say that some parts are simply accepted as truth?

If you hug others you’ll get the corona virus.
This is scientifically proven. However, one of those others must be contagious and you must be susceptible to getting it by coming in contact with that other.
So it is also a False statement.

Science doesn't claim that "If you hug others you'll get corona virus.".
And what I mean by "science claims X" is that it has been published in a peer-reviewed scientific journal with a high impact factor and independently replicated (the more the better) and it's a part of the scientific consensus (the predominant number of scientists who specialize in a particular field think it's true) and it's also logically consistent with the rest of what science says and logically follows from some other scientific claims or is based on the established definitions or is a result of an experiment which clearly shows that and there are no methodological errors.
I don't think the claim "If you hug others, you'll get corona virus." fulfills that.

What if you hug the corona virus?
Did anyone ever stop to think it might just want friends.

I’ll try to get back to this tomorrow.
Life happened and I’m out of time tonight.
I’m going to try and get in some reading.
