So what part of what i said does not fall under those defintitons?

It is still just a theory. It proves some aspects of how some creautires came to be. It is not a fact of how humans came to be and can not be proved as such. So its a "theory" with all that implies. Do not try to make it more than it to be. We were talking on the evolution of humans, not on if evolution occurs or is possible. So please exaplin to me how the theory of human evoluiton is somehow a proven fact, and not a combination of ideas thought to be true but not proven so.

Explain to me how theory of gravity is unproven.
