A scientific theory is not a fact it is a series of propositions that are supported by facts.

If that were the case nobody would be calling evolution a theory at all; all of the facts contradict it.

Scientific theories are not the same as mathematical theories or theories of logic.

They are affirmative but not demonstrable. There is no such thing as a scientific theory that can be contradicted. There are no proofs in science only strong or weak evidence. Facts don't contradict anything. They are just states of affairs, determined only by accident and circumstance.

I see you haven't learned much from all the links you were given to understand the science behind evolution.
