Wrong. Evolution is a theory AND a fact. The theory of evolution is that variations are passed on to offspring, and selected by relative reproductive success. The fact of evolution is that allele frequencies change over time, and have throughout the history of life on Earth. The theory may or may not be correct--the evidence for it is extremely strong--but the fact is irrefutable.

None of that addresses the conversion of inanimate/dead objects into reproducing objects. The disclaimer was narrow, by my read, but misapplied the word "evolution" where the theory of evolution doesn't even tread. The disclaimer says, in part ...

Evolution is a theory, not a fact, regarding the origin of living things.

The disclaimer appears to be focused on the transition from dead to alive, and incorrectly uses the term "evolution" to describe that transition.

So Darwin's On the Origin of the Species is a treatise on abiogenesis?
