You are mistaking evidence of something for a test. In order to move from a hypothesis to a theory, you must be able to reproduce or create experiments. Because evolution is a billions-of-years activity, it can’t be tested. So while it’s likely a fact, we really can’t even call it a theory unless you’ve got a billion years or so to create a test.
But it is true that for a hypothesis to become a theory it has to be testable, and evolution isn’t.
It is. It’s a long term e. coli experiment going back decades. Also, you know, genetics and the fossil record.

Dude, look up the E. Coli evolution study. It’s an experiment showing evolution in action.
It is a scientific theory. Just like gravity.
Very interesting. Got way too much into the weeds for me to follow all the way through, but point taken.
