This article explains quite well when talking about gravity, and what I posted earlier about the " basket"

https://explorable.com/falsifiability

Gravity is proven scientific theory.....no question.

We lived with Newtons laws for a long while and they served us well. But Eienstein produced new evidence to change how we think about gravity.

But gravity still is.

Evolution is he same. It is proven. There is no argument. New evidence may be discovered that may change how we consider evolution, but it won't change the fact that evolution is.
