So far the theory of evolution has not been proven false. See above where I explain the difference in the layperson's definition of "theory" and the scientific definition.

There is still a lot about the theory of gravity that hasn't been proven true (and probably never will be) but few would say they don't believe the theory of gravity not just because we can see it first-hand every day, but because it doesn't contradict certain religious creation myths.
