"Theories however can be supported via the facts and experimentation. That doesn't mean that they go into the realm of Proofs. (A proof is 'evidence that establishes the truth of something') They only become proofs when they are proven by the facts."

What the devil does this mean? As far I can tell, you're saying the following --

"Theories can be supported by evidence. That doesn't mean that they are evidence. They only become evidence when they are proven by the evidence"

-- which is gibberish.

Maybe you'd care to explain.

perhaps you should learn to read.

A PROOF which is a scientific truth/axiom/foundation, the definition .... 'evidence that establishes the truth of something')

A further explanation of the word "Theories" from me .... They (Theories and Evolution is a Theory) only become PROOFS when they are proven by the facts."
