Everything in science remains open to be disproved; it wouldn't be science otherwise. That's one way science is different from pure math. Or from religion for that matter.

That said, it is indeed annoying when people who don't understand science interpret "open for disproof" to mean "it's easy to disprove." Quantum mechanics and the second law of thermodynamics could in principle be disproven, but the evidentiary burden would be extremely high. (Insert obligatory Carl Sagan quote here.)
