theories are the closest representation of reality.. when tested, proved, supported by empirical evidences, experimented on and produces the same results everytime, then it becomes a representation of those properties which we cannot comprehend with our naked senses..
it is just a theory that electrons are running through the copper wires when you turn on the switch, but we rely on that theory to manipulate the property of electricity thus we create efficient devices for our needs.. so just because it's only a theory it doesn't mean that you automatically reject it..
but with regards to evolution, it's a property of nature that we cannot observe under the microscope because genetic change is very minute.. the only go-to scheme to prove it is to gather and compare fossils.. like searching for transitional species like the legged fish, because it was theorized that land creatures were once fishes, indeed they found a fossil of a legged fish.. so you see although it is just a theory, but it is the best scientific explanation we have..
