The laws of physics & chemistry are "still not fully proven." Scientific testing can only disprove a hypothesis. If a hypothesis - such as Newton's Law of Gravity - stands up to lots of testing and makes accurate predictions, it starts to get used. However, that doesn't mean it has been proven.
For example, although Newton's Laws are very widely used, e.g. to launch satellites into orbit and land exploratory robots on distant planets, they were proven wrong by Einstein!
That's right! Newton's Laws are good enough for most purposes, even though they have been proven wrong!! What this should be telling you is that your notions of "scientific proof" may need updating.
