Evolutions as a process is a fact. How evolution occurs is covered in the Theory of Evolution. Please note that a scientific theory is not the same as a conversational theory. There's the Theory of Gravity, i.e. how gravity works. Gravity itself is fact - just like evolution.
Great point - you explained that well.
Evolution is not "just a theory" - any more than plate tectonics is "just a theory".
I have text books that I still use in my Geography class that still talk about the "Theory of Plate Tectonics". But, no one is now debating - that continents actually move.
