no, or it wouldn't be a theory
Evidently you misunderstand what "theory" means in a scientific context. I suspect you are using the colloquial definition which is more akin to a hypothesis or a guess.
In science, a theory is not a guess, it's the best, most comprehensive, consistent and predictive explanation of a set of data.
Would you consider the germ THEORY of disease (the basis for modern medicine) to be "just a theory" ?. Do you disagree that much of human disease is caused by bacteria and viruses?
No, of course you don't so why would you assert that evolution is a theory because it lacks convincing evidence?
There is no reason to attempt to disprove something that there is no proof of.
There is a great deal of evidence for evolution.
Example:
Here we see fossils of dinosaurs which are understood to be the ancestors of birds. We see that they possess features which are common to reptiles (eg> teeth, long, bony tails and snouts). But these same specimens also possess features which are common to birds (eg> feathers both insulating and asymmetrical, grasping feet and hollow bones. You'll notice that, that is actually
the definition of a transitional form.
Beyond that, we even see fossil evidence of
behaviour from dinosaurs which is more typical of birds in the form of brooding.
And
then we get to the modern species like ostriches, emus and cassowary (incidentally, birds which most resemble ornithomimid theropod dinosaurs) which possess very saurian-like claws on their wings in just the way we would expect from a limb which was once a forelimb rather than a full wing.
And
then we get into the genetic evidence which shows that modern birds still possess the genes for saurian features like teeth and long tails! A situation which is NOT reversed. That is to say, reptiles do not possess dormant avian genes, which effectively invalidates any argument that a god just used the same materials to make different creatures.
So you see, there is in fact a great deal of observed evidence for evolution.
