Wouldn't you say mathmatics is the most infallible thing human's have come to creating? The level of rigor in mathematics is much higher and there aren't as many repeatability issues.

I would say mathematics is the language of science. Science is the process of extending knowledge; logic provides the tools for inference, and number allow experimentation/reproduction to be quantifiable. I also subscribe to the idea that mathematics exists independently and is discovered.
