That's why "the theory of evolution" refers to Big-E evolution and is quite accurate in claiming that it is, indeed, only a theory. Science will not ever be able to convert Big-E evolution into a fact, since there is no method of proving how something DID happen, only ways to show how it COULD HAVE happened.

While otherwise erudite, I wanted to make a clarification. One way science evolves (grin) a theory toward fact is in prediction. That is the theory which seems to explain all the facts explains some things which are not yet fact. Once those facts are seen, that is very strong implication that the parts of the theory which explain new facts in terms of old facts are themselves "fact" :) The simple anecdote is General (I think) Relativity predicted: "the apparent position of stars should change when near the sun, so we should be able to detect that during an eclipse" and then it was detected during an eclipse and Einstein became very famous.

I don't know if the theory of evolution makes any testable prediction apart from the little-e variety such as those you mentioned that continue to happen as predicted. One that would be nice to see is an actual prediction of what we should be evolving to in a few millenniums (sorry don't know latin)... like "We will become like the gray aliens". Or some kind of prediction like that. Then, in a few thousand years at least people like me wouldn't have this nagging feeling that something is missing.

Same with string theory. Long live Quantum Loop Gravity!
