Your assessment cannot be correct. In many creationist threads, when creationists assert that evolution is only a "theory", I would throw back that gravity is also a "theory". They would 'refute' my by telling me that gravity is establihsed, proven, a Law. Therefore gravity cannot change. It's been proven. Creationists said so.

Gravity has definitely been proven. Just ask any plastic surgeon.

Gravity is proven as an effect, but the Eisnstein Theory of Gravity is just a theory. Earlier we had the theory by Newton, it evolved to the Einstein variant. There are several competing theories of Gravity. In the future we will (probably) have a unified theory with gravity and quantum mechanics. But this is many years in the future, the string theory although elegant is probably not the Final theory either.
