In science a Theory is the highest level that things reach, higher than a scientific law. Theories are explanations of verified facts.

In the Natural Earth Sciences, a scientific theory is an explanation, packaged with predicted results, observations, and supportive evidences. A scientific theory is no weaker than a scientific law. A theory does not become a law if "proven". Indeed, science does not seek to prove, but merely to provide explanations, supported by evidences, observations, etc.
The theory of biological evolution by natural selection has not been challenged with any other competing theories that have any support. It has stood for 150 years, and gathered more evidence, undertanding, and support in that time, correlating with our understanding of genetics to become the bedrock of biology.

irreducible complexity proves that the once proclaimed theory of evolution is only a version of life in the terms of uniformitarianism thinking... it has certain truths in it but the vast majority of the evolution conundrum is basically false. It is a good model for uniformitarianism but is refuted for the same reason..... uniformitariainism is a belief rarely taken seriously because of it's rapidly refutable idea.....long story short no-one can prove what happened a million years ago no matter what they say or do irreducible complexity adds onto that by saying it wasn't millions of years ago and irreducible complexity is a proven scientific FACT!

A Theory in science, isn't the same as a theory in day-2-day life. It's basically the described explanation of scientific-findings, so it's a description of fact.
You're focusing on the wrong thing though, Evolution can't prove the amount of change needed for adaptation, to break into evolution(morphing, species development, and so on).
So where you're right to question Evolution, the theory part isn't their weak-spot. The actual science behind it is.
80% of Evolution is true, there's just 1 problem, that threshold where it become evolution, instead of adaptation.
When you recreate the big-bang, you don't see a singular-development(which Evolution asserts, that it developed refined in phases), you see a diverse-development, everything starts growing at once, it adapts, but breaking that fundamental-wall of evolving doesn't actually happen.
Source(s): Evolution is mostly a political-tool though, a lot of funding, and power is connected to the theory, which is why it's 'propped up' by science. The excuse is often: 'But what if it falls, what happens then?' which shows you a Politicians-view, because Science, like Religion shouldn't be about how it looks, it should be about finding truth, and being open to that truth. - Anonymous7 years ago
theoretically are we still evolving and have no way of stepping outside to view this happening. spesiation is to satisfy a niche in nature, so it may examine itself and its curiosities.

Same reason gravity is.
