Not quite.
1 Thats not why its a theory. We do have great evidense of Evolution. And the only rational course is to believe in Evolution. We actually even "know" many mechanisms by which it occurs.
But its a theory because it really cant be "proven". The "Special Theory of relativity" actually is far more "provable" but we still call it a theory.
In rational thought essentially nothing is even proven but we do accept a few laws because we need a base to work from.
2 You say creationism "made up" - actually you cant prove that either. You should say - "we have no evidense for it".
Science is about evidense. Science is the only rational basis for understanding the world world. Evolution is science.
But I get kind of sick of seeing people do what you just did - not trusting the elegant power of science/reason to defend itself.

Evolution is still just a theory because we don't fully understand how it works. We do know that it does work though.
