Sure, there were theories in the past that got it wrong, but in the case of Relativity, it does explains quite convincingly a number of facts and therefore there will always be a kernel of truth in Relativity. If there is a new theory sometimes in the future, it will contain Relativity, just like Relativity contains Newtonian physics.
Theists use the same argument about Darwin while ignoring all the scientific evidence that has been accumulated since Darwin's time and how we now have a much better understand of the evolutionary process than he did. They have trouble getting past the idea of one author handing down 'Truth' in a single document.
That creationists always try to shoot down Darwin as a person to discredit evolution is even funnier because, while Einstein got it so right that the theory remains untouched 110 years later, Darwin was quite wrong on many things - we can't blame him for being confused about inheritance before genetics was known of course. But he is hasn't been a relevant authority on evolutionary science for 80 years.
