"...they mean what AIG says they mean."

well, I'm not sure youre using their words correctly, because they call using the term theory a problem. Scientists try to put Evolution on par with other well-known theories and expect us to simply accept it, when Evolution is not a proven fact. What AIG means is

It would be better to say that particles-to-people evolution is an unsubstantiated hypothesis or conjecture.

Scientists try to put Evolution on par with other well-known theories and expect us to simply accept it, when Evolution is not a proven fact.

Evolution is on par with all scientific theories, none of which are proven facts. The Germ Theory of Disease is not a proven fact. In fact, the Germ Theory of Disease will _never_ be a fact. Not even if God himself comes down from heaven, catches a cold, and says "why did I ever invent germs... all they do is give us diseases." A theory is different than a fact, not lesser, different.

There is no graduation from theory to fact. A theory explains things, makes predictions... a fact is simply an observation.
