It is unproven... Science doesn't TRY to prove theories. It makes them up and tries to DISPROVE them.
Or that scientists don't agree on something, as if it means that it isn't true until they agree. It's like saying that you won't wear a seat belt, because most trips don't result in a crash. The few trips that do, and the extreme consequences make up for the mild inconvenience of wearing the seat belt to a person who is prudent.
ALSO, when someone hasn't spent any time really thinking about something, but expects someone to waste her time trying to explain it to them. And of course, they also think that they are brilliant, when they haven't even bothered to learn the science that has been going on for the past few hundred years.

That evolution is "science", since it's conjecture and based on faith as much as any religion.
"Skeptics" who insist on evolution or global warming being true, and insist that someone DISPROVE it. A skeptic is one who insists on proof, not a drone who must have his faith disproven.
That a laser is "highly focused light". There is so much more to a laser, and a it can even be defocused.

"It's just a theory"
The Single Bullet is 'Just a theory'. The Theory of Evolution is not 'just a theory'.
