I think I know what you mean but if it’s what I think you are doing a terrible job at explaining it. Theories in the scientific jargon are not the same as theories in the common parlance. What the commoner calls a “theory” is what we call a conjecture or an hypothesis. A theory in science is a summarization of experimental results, so if this is your take, I get your point.
God is not a theory. There are no facts to support it and it has no predictive capabilities.
Evolution is a theory that demonstrates that species change via changes in genes. It is supported by facts and studies across multiple disciplines and has predictive capabilities.
There are some facts to support it, the problem is in the latter. Merely describing a system isn’t sufficient, it’s predicting more information. One can just as easily describe physics “as the things that are” but this doesn’t let us find more information about the universe.
There are a great many theories that are untestable and unfalsifiable. The existence of a God or a Creator is a hotly debated one, for instance.
Scientifically. No there aren’t.
You’re talking about hypotheses.

I think I know what you mean, but using words like parlance and commoner makes you sound like a douche nozzle.
I’m sorry. I should have said muggles.

One is science, the other is mythology.
