You can spin it all you want, but a theory is not a fact. If you don't know that, then you really don't know much.

The bottom line that it is a guess based on some evidence (I never said it was a blind guess; you inferred that to try to discredit me). Evolution is a scientific guess based on some evidence, but it has a lot of flaws. It is still not a fact, and when you speak of it as a proven fact, it makes you look ignorant. My dictionary defines "theory" as "an assumption or guess based on limited information or knowledge." That is what evolution is: a guess based on limited knowledge and information.

Saying something is *just a theory* shows how little you know about science. Theories are as high as it gets. The Theory of Universal Gravity, the Theory of Relativity... no more or less scientific then The Theory of Evolution. Flippantly saying something is *just a theory* means you really don't know much.

NO theories in science have been proved, it isn't about proof, but about evidence and support for a theory.
