Of course, all knowledge is provisional. However evolution is substantial enough that if/when a better theory comes along, it won't completely remove evolution, it will augment it, similar to what Einstein did to Newton. Just because Newtons theory of gravity was ultimately incorrect doesn't mean it isn't still valid.
Anything that supplants evolution will still have evolution as a component.
