Why are they still "theories" then?

The fact that many people believe it contributes nothing to it's validity. My
experience has been that it is rare when a distinction between macro evoltion
and micro evolution is made by the "educated" people, and when you can sell
micro evolution to a 1st grader, and then tell him about macro evolution later
on down the line, and call the entire thing evolution, it's no suprise that the
majority of people believe in such a thing.
