Chaos theory doesn't refute anything. It's just a collection of mathematical tools to use to understand the emergent behavior of deterministic systems that are unpredictable because of their sensitivity to initial conditions. It's like saying chess theory refutes something. Chess theory is just a toolbag.
Laws and principles and such can refute things, but "theory" is a word used in academia to represent a collection of observations and tendencies, not the way laymen used it when they "have a theory".
