A theory is not just a hypothesis that has been proven true.

1) A hypothesis in science is merely a conjecture put forth to provide a basis for further debate and to conceive research and experiments. It is a working guess, not an untested theory.

2) A theory is a comprehensive set of explanations for known phenomena. It must make testable predictions that can be confirmed or reputed.

3) When you make explanations without testable predictions, it is called philosophy. To sneer "That is just a theory" is to misunderstand just how much effort goes into producing a testable theory.

So the answer is No.
