No theories are correct. That is why they are called theories.
These are the best that can be done with present knowledge, they explain and make prediction that could otherwise not be made. If those explanations are useful and the predictions turn out to be correct it strengthens the theory. It does not prove it.
When a theory is proven to be true it is then called a law.
