Snail: Of course, if you do say a theory is untrue and you have good evidence to back up that claim, it ceases to be a theory.

But we scientific types are loath to make the transition from theory to truth. It goes against our instincts. But I repeat. Evolution occurs and that is incontrovertible. The accumulated evidence long ago went past the tipping point. These are the facts of the matter, however much you like to play with words instead of thinking. As long as I've taken all the evidence into account and used my reason to its maximum extent to interpret that evidence and reach an honest conclusion, I am not being dogmatic. Wrong word, wrong context. Now I'm fed up of this. No matter what I say you'll nitpick. Arguing with you is like pissing into a strong wind.
