63. Same reason they call gravity a theory
A theory in the scientific sense of the word means more than someone coming up with something off the top of their heads. If there is not evidence to back it up it is not a theory. Neither Creationism nor Intelligent Design are theories. They are nothing in the scientific world. The fact that there is such a thing as evolution has been proven many times over, the theory looks at more than just whether or not evolution is happening it is looking at how it is happening. The data will never be complete so evolution will always be a theory, as are virtually all scientific concepts that are taken seriously.
