No.
That objects fall when dropped is observable.
Gravity is the theory about why it happens and what controls the rate of atraction.
There is Newtonian Gravity, Relativistic Gravity, and a number of Quantum Gravities.

Evolution has been observed countless times in the fossil record.
That it does happen is fact.
Why it happens is Theory.
There have been many, Darwinian Evolution, Lysenkoism, Punctuated Equilibrium Evolution.

Theories in Science are constantly being fine tuned, each more accurate than the prior one, asymptopically aproaching truth.
