Wrong. Nothing has proven that there is no spiritual entity or an unknown quantity existing.
Science is about exploring the nature and existence of the things we know, and once you move into quantum physics, you will realise how little we actually know.
We are only on the cusp of discoveries concerning anti-matter, and still don't know conclusively what holds the universe together. And now we have discovered that a vacuum contains many sub-atomic particles continually forming and being destroyed, and that they can even borrow energy from the future to kick-start that process.
In fact, everything you see around you (and ourselves) is the left-over products of these minute creations and explosions, which are going on all the time around us.
Most scientists prefer one school of thought over the other, but there are many who easily accept a scientific and spiritual understanding of the universe and themselves.
You saying this sentence does prove how narrow-minded you are and ignorant of many scientists' viewpoints.
