That theories are not carved out of stone is in fact a very pillar of science. No theory ever can be really "proven", but it can be rejected if experiments show contradiction on a reproductive basis. Of course this does not fit our human habits well, so many use the word "proven", I might have used it already myself as well. But it effectively means that it has survived already so many attempts to disprove it that the probability is quite high that its a correct theory.

Science isn't ever going to be completely true. What it is is the best explination of what we see around us. It gets disproven, not when we relize that it is wrong (well sometimes it is but not often), but when we find a better explination. A good example would be Newton's "Laws" of Gravity, they have been disproven (by Einstein), because we found a better model for how gravity works. Newton is close, but it is not perfect.

Sorry I dont understand that. Could you elaborate on this argument?

He's going to say (most likely) that Evolution says life comes from life but it started from nothing. And I dare him.
