[Servant of the 9]

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

Yes, and Gravity is a theory, not a fact, regarding things falling.

In Science, any interpretation of data is a Theory, not a Law or a fact.

A Hypothesis is a wild assed guess that might become a Theory after sufficient testing.

Unfortunately, general usage has confused the terms fact, Law, Theory and Hypothesis.

Gravity is not a theory. It is observable. Hence, it can be classified as a law.

No one has ever observed the materialistic evolution of any species. However, it cannot be classified as a law. Hence, it is merely a theory.

Actually, there's a difference between a hypothesis and a wild-assed guess. A hypothesis is testable. A WAG isn't. If the hypothesis passes the test, then it's a theory. If it fails, it's simply a failed hypothesis and not worthy of further consideration, unless it can be modified and re-tested.
