It became another issue because it couldn't be replicated.
No, it is another issue because evolution is a very specific field. Evolution deals with existing populations of life forms. It does not deal with how those life forms ultimately came into being. It's kind of how like how studying electron flow in a circuit does not depend on the ultimate source of either the electricity or the components of the circuit.
"Scientific theories are never proven"
Sure they are...but they start calling them "laws."
No, scientific "laws" are theories that have withstood rigourous analysis and testing and have proven useful as a reference basis for further experimentation and testing. That does not mean that the theory was "proven", it means that falsifying that particular theory can have very broad implications.

Cults always have a rationale to explain their mistakes too. I'm just not buying any paradigm that hides under the banner of "science," yet gets to drop anything that doesn't support the doctrine.
Aside from that, I think your response is engaging in "distinction without difference."
