And before Einstein would you have said that Newton's theories had been “proven”?

What to do with relativity then, and the evidence that supports it, if Newtons theories of motion had already been “proven”?

It is obvious you have no knowledge of or respect for the methodology of science; but in science no theory is ever “proven”, just accepted provisionally awaiting contradictory data or refinement.

Yes, it is true that Einsteins theory of relativity has not yet been proven.

But a great many of his other theories have.

What to do with evolution then? Should all debate be stopped? Should this theory be accepted as proven?

It is obvious you have no knowledge of or respect for the methodology of science

Not true, but; a great way to shut down debate. Which, after all, is the topic of this thread.

A simple 'Google' of "Einstein theory proven" will provide several hundred-thousand hits; many from academia's finest.

But, beware. In doing so, you will have proven many of the theories behind processors and computing.
