No, I understood quite well. He said evolution explains facts. This is crap. Evolution is a theory that is based on evidence and not a fact at all.

Nope, Theories explain sets of facts.

you have facts such as seeing a definite time-layering of fossils different species and genera and such in the geological record.

If all species were created in a week they'd all be jumbled together.

Evolution is a theory that explains the above facts, and many others.

The basic problem is that what scientists call a "hypothesis" is what the average person uses the term "theory" for.

Relativity is still called a "Theory." So is Quantum Mechanics.

Correct, it does.

This is crap.

I know I'll be sorry I asked, but -- in what way?

Evolution is a theory that is based on evidence and not a fact at all.

The theory of evolution explains the fact of evolution. Read this if you're still unclear.
