Evolution is stilled called Theory because it cannot be proven.

No. It is called a "theory" because it hasn't been disproven. When it is disproven, it will called a "discarded theory". That's all. I most respectfully suggest that if you do not understand what the word "theory" implies, then you refrain from using it or commenting on it.
