Even theories that are more or less “proven” remain labeled theories because other, as yet undiscovered, explanations could exist.The word "theory" doesn't say anything about whether an idea is "proven" or not.
Theory and fact are not rungs on a ladder, with fact being higher than theory. They are two different things.
Facts are what we see. Theories are our explanation for the facts. Even when the explanation is backed up by trillions of pieces of fact, and is basically irrefutable (such as the theory of evolution), it still remains a theory, because that's what it is, a theory, an explanation.

Try explaining that to a bunch of die-hard creationists, you will probably travel through a lot of time before you ever make one understand what you are saying.
