When applied to evolution, it [theory] means an assumption or guess.

You're showing extreme scientific ignorance here. Many words have different meanings in the context of science.

Regardless, your dictionary must really suck becaue I went to dictionary.com and looked up 'theory'. Here are the first two entries...

1. A set of statements or principles devised to explain a group of facts or phenomena, especially one that has been repeatedly tested or is widely accepted and can be used to make predictions about natural phenomena.

2. The branch of a science or art consisting of its explanatory statements, accepted principles, and methods of analysis, as opposed to practice: a fine musician who had never studied theory.

I'm surprised that some the scientific minded creationists in this thread haven't corrected you on this assertion yet. The "evolution is just a theory" is the weakest argument a creationist can make because it springs from ignorance of what the word "theory" means in science. The words "force" and "work" are other examples of words whose scientific meaning differs from their common usage meaning.

Your correction won't stop him from doing it again tomorrow, and the day after that, and the day after that, and the day after that.... ;)

The fact that evolution is less than a certainty is not an argument, it is an observation, a fact, a truth claim, a certainty. Evolutionists who refuse to admit as much have relegated themselves into the realm of non-reason. They sound like Bill Clinton trying to explain the meaning of "is."
