It IS a theory, dumbass.
No kidding, dumb ass.
Other scientific theories include...
Heliocentrism - The Earth revolves around the Sun.
General relativity - Gravity, black holes and the expansion of the universe.
Special relativity - Atomic bombs
Statistical mechanics - Allowed for the understanding of thermodynamics and the discovery of atoms.
Plate tectonics - The continents move.
It's nice of you to admit evolution is in the same category as these. It doesn't do much to help your argument, but it's nice of you. For something to be a theory it needs to meet a rather impressive evidence threshold. Science does not dispute evolution any more than it disputes the fact that the Earth revolves around the Sun.
Heliocentrism is not a theory. It WAS, and then it was proven.
Yes, relativity IS a theory, which is why it's CALLED "The theory of relativity". So what?
Ditto for statistical mechanics, which is part of THEORETICAL physics, and plate tectonics. Again, what is your fucking point?
It's nice of YOU to admit that evolution is in this category, instead of insisting that it's settled and closed. It would be even nicer if you would quit pretending that I've ever said anything different, based on what you WANT to think I believe to feed your own ego.
I never said science DID dispute evolution. YOU seem to want to believe that science wholeheartedly embraces it as unassailable fact. All I've ever said is that it's a theory; I'm not the least bit responsible for, or interested in, the mistaken interpretation YOU put on that statement.
Science does not prove things,that is not the job or purpose of science.
Out of curiosity, what do you think the "job and purpose" of science is?

The purpose of science is to explain, and perhaps to explain and predict.
Science cannot prove anything, proof of the currency of mathematics, not science.
