No, I'm not "ignorant" of the scientific method, and I find ad hominums like this to be a common theme among those sharing your viewpoint.

So why an objection to evolution on the grounds that it cannot be proven?

Pointing out that someone is ignorant of science when they demonstrate that they are unaware of the nature of the scientific method is making a statement of fact. You may be a brilliant mathematician, a well-researched historian or an expert on English literature, but it's clear from your objection to evolution that you don't understand the nature of the scientific method -- if you did, you wouldn't be using the fact that evolution cannot be proven as an argument against it, because you would know that nothing in science can be "proven".
