It's just a theory

Now I've noticed that people just don't understand what a scientific theory is. It may not be as concrete as a law, but it is far more then an educated guess. The most disputed theory being evolution. I just want to name some other theories: gravity (haven't seen many people try to disprove this), germs cause disease, and the atomic theory. Nobody tries to disprove these theories, and in fact, the germ theory and atomic theory are newer then evolution. Just some food for thought.
