So why is it always taught in the media as “fact”?
I have no idea. I think it is based on the “two plus two is five” branch of science - we have two that we know about and can speculate SOLIDLY on two more and know that there just HAS to be one more, even though we can’t find it...
It isn't. It is taught as the 'Theory' of evolution. Look up the definition of 'theory.' It doesn't mean fact.
Straw dog arguments just make you look silly.
You might want to read up on your creationist talking points.

Under Arguments we think creationists should not use:
“Evolution is just a theory.’ What people usually mean when they say this is ‘Evolution is not proven fact, so it should not be promoted dogmatically.’ Therefore people should say that. The problem with using the word ‘theory’ in this case is that scientists usually use it to mean a well-substantiated explanation of data. This includes well-known ones such as Einstein’s Theory of Relativity and Newton’s Theory of Gravity, and lesser-known ones such as the Debye–Hückel Theory of electrolyte solutions and the Deryagin–Landau/Verwey–Overbeek (DLVO) theory of the stability of lyophobic sols, etc.”
