Science offers theories to explain things for which all necessary data for a definitive conclusion are not available. They don't have the luxury of relying on faith in a laboratory experiment, and so, rather than declaim their idea as the absolute divine truth, they call it what it is, a theory. Sounds to me as if they're being specifically accurate, not "wrong". Only a bad scientist - or a preacher - would tell you he knows the absolute truth without being able to prove it and demand you take it on "faith", because he knows better than you.
As an ordained minister myself, I think the distinction is an important one.
