Definitely, its when obvious truths are in people's faces and they deny them based on a 2000 yr old story that is upsetting.

But I do think that there is still somethings missing in the theory. Whether it will round out on it's own as we get to know more in the next 100 years, or whether there will be a more noticable revision so to speak, I'm not sure.

See I don't get what you mean here, its so overwhelmingly clear and
SIMPLE. This theory has beyond Biology the Geological record, Fossils, and many other Scientific disciplines that all agree on this theory and build upon its original foundation.
Are there 'small' things we yet don't understand about it, sure its possible, but to deny evolution is as I said before like denying the holocaust. The evidence is overwhelming and any rational being would agree.

Perhaps we will be able to prove more down the road that we just can't now.
That's just my personal opinion as I understand everything. I know many many parts of the theory are proven without a doubt, I still think it's not as exact as other laws or theories.
I kinda have it up there with Quantum theory. Basically true, but still lots more to learn or add. I think that's fair.

If you compare Evolution with Quantum Theory, to borrow the most common joke of Science today;
"You just don't understand Quantum Theory." 
Evolution by 99% of the worlds Scientists is no more in doubt than Atomic Theory or Germ Theory.
Quantum Theory or Quantum Mechanics is only remotely understood by a tiny number of humans, probably under 10,000 humans could get the mathematics and theorems proposed by the top Physicists.
Evolution in comparison to Quantum Theory is like comparing finger paint to Painting the know universe as a blind monkey in a box that could hold 2 clear states of existence.
