I am going to try this one more time. Evolution was not science and it is not pure science. It cannot be proven, it can only be inferred. Darwinism was the first example of historical observation and it's inference to be called science. Now people can generate terabytes of anecdotal evidence for evolution but no one can show you one proven example (search fruit fly).

It is like astrophysics can describe what happen down to the first millisecond of the "Big Bang", but cannot tell you what Gravity is. No one knows why masses attract each other.

Read some Scientific Americans on what was believed 50, 100 and 150 years ago and project how stupid we will be 100 years from now.

I am not so stupid as to reject intelligent design, because I have insufficient evidence to rule it out and it can explain some incomprensibles (the list is many: from the importance of irrational numbers, the magic proportion .618...., gravity etc etc).

So maybe 100 years from now I will be the idiot or you might be.

Scientific theories aren't proven. They are demonstrated to be false through experiment and observation.

No, but we have a theory, which is our best educated guess. Einstein's theory of general relativity is our theory of gravitation. It postulates that massive objects curve space, causing the forces we observe. As it is a theory, like evolution, and cannot be proved. Like Newton's Universal Gravitation, it may only be demonstrated as being false. Einstein's theories supplanted Newton's Universal Gravitation because Newtonian physics couldn't explain the precession of the perihelion of Mercury's orbit. Einstein showed that Newtonian gravity was only an approximation that because inaccurate in the presence of strong gravitational fields.
