I would recommend that all theories be presented as theories....not fact. That is all that I ask.

Then you are asking the wrong question. When someone says something like "evolution should be presented as a theory" they are saying essentially that evolution should be presented as hypothesis, or conjecture. However, this is far from the case. The problem is that people misunderstand what is meant by theory. Relativity, plate tectonics, and evolution are all scientific theories with well established bodies of supporting evidence, that have all enriched our lives in very real and measurable ways. There are countless doctors, molecular chemists and microbiologists who understand what evolution is and why the theory is sound that remain men of good faith. There is no contradiction or competition between science and religion, and I believe some people do both science and religion a disservice by trying to foster conflict where there is none.
