The difference is so obvious it isn't funny. We can currently observe the effects of gravity, we just don't fully understand it.
One can not observe evolution, which is why it is still more debated than gravitational theory. Also, not all gravitational theory is theory, there are parts of it that are "laws", or facts in science terms.
