The theory of evolution is both fact and theory.
You denied that it was a theory, which was a mistake on your part. It certainly is, since, were it wrong, there would be a myriad of ways of disproving it, i.e., it is falsifiable. The fact that it hasn't been falsified, and only supported by observation across a wide body of research, is what makes it also an established fact in the ordinary sense of that word.


I denied nothing. I pointed out that evolution happens and scientists who study evolution work on theoretical models on how evolution works. Life evolves, scientific theory seeks to explain how it works. That's all.
