Not "Just" a theory. It is a theory.

Within the context of science, you have a hypothesis formed first. If you find enough evidence of the hypothesis then it graduates and becomes a theory....

Nice thing about science is that it is open to proof and disproof. A theory remains valid as long as it is not disproven. Once it is disproven it is invalid. If enough time passes and enough evidence is gathered for it and no disproof is found then it eventually becomes a law.

But even then, if it is proven wrong once it is invalidated.

The theory of evolution has been around for a pretty good stretch now and has yet to be disproven.
