"The way I see it nature is under no obligation to make itself verifiable."\What verifiability requires in science is simply repeatability. There's an underlying assumption that nature acts according to laws and not randomly or capriciously so the same set of circumstances or causes should always lead to the same result. If it didn't, we could never work out what was going on or build something that would work reliably over time.
Scientific proof relies on the fact that observations and test results are repeatable. If observations aren't repeatable, you're not observing quite the same thing and if results aren't repeatable, the prediction on which the test was designed isn't reliable. You can't build on that. On the other hand, if the observations and test results are repeatable, what you've verified -apart from the observations or results - is that nature is acting consistently and it's that which underlies the whole of science.
