Mathematics has axioms; I'm not sure that "science" does. Eg, it is an axiom of Euclidean geometry that "parallel lines never meet" and an axiom of arithmetic that "a + b = b + a"; these are things which "define" Euclidean geometry and arithmetic - they cannot be "proven".
However, I cannot, off the top of my head, think of any such equivalent axioms in science. Did you have anything in mind?
