The way that evolution should be expressed is that, so far, the information we have gathered makes the theory of evolution the most viable and provable one to date.
This is not, no way, what a scientific theory is. For one thing, scientific theories must be falsifiable, but they are never provable. A theory is a comprehensive explanation for something that has stood the test of time and is consistent with the available evidence. The theory of evolution is simply that life on Earth evolved from simple to more complex life forms over time. It says nothing about how or why evolution happened, and there is no evidence that seriously challenges that explanation.
Evolution is as much a theory as General Relativity, even though we know the latter is incomplete. There is no competing explanation that seriously challenges evolution as an explanation of the evidence of the progression of life on earth.
