"Evolution is scientific fact. It is a "theory," but most scientific theories are indeed undeniably true. "

Yes, the Ptolemaic theory of the solar system/universe comes to mind. The scientific theory of removing bad humors with leeches is often maligned. No leeches? A simple bleeding should suffice. And who can forget that falling off the edge of the Earth thing? That theory is indeed fact, insofar as you have just tumbled off, dweeb.

Theory: An assumption based on limited information or knowledge; a conjecture.

Where do you see "fact" in there?

THat is not the definition of the word 'theory' when used in a scientific context. If you want to be taken seriously in a scientific discussion, at least learn what the words mean. This is another example of the creationist habit of misleading and/or lying their way through arguments.
