I'm an "evolutionist," having spent about half of my grad school training in that field. Here are the definitions of THEORY and FACT (hey, all caps makes them sound bigger!).
Please note, nothing in these definitions, which I have posted dozens of times, equates THEORY and FACT. But I will keep posting them as long as necessary.
Theory: a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world; an organized system of accepted knowledge that applies in a variety of circumstances to explain a specific set of phenomena; "theories can incorporate facts and laws and tested hypotheses"; "true in fact and theory"Fact: when an observation is confirmed repeatedly and by many independent and competent observers, it can become a fact
How many witnesses have there been that have seen and bird evolve into a dinosaur or a fish evolve into a man?
How many? I gotta try that time travel machine you've got! Again, ignor my argument all you want, it doesn't change evolution into a factual occurance.
