Generally, a fact is defined as something that is true, something that actually exists, or something having objective reality that can be verified according to an established standard of evaluation

Any understanding we have is always and should always be up for debate, the strength of an idea, theory or fact is that its up for debate and challenge based on evidence and the scientific method.
A great example is Quantum Theory, which turns logic upside down and gives us pause in how we not only approach science but in how we understand it.
But to finish this off before I goto bed, my earlier point stands. Evolution has a
MOUNTAIN of evidence and support.
To suggest evolution is false, requires more than just 'faith in a holy book' it requires counter argument and counter proof. All of which has not presented itself and something that Intelligent design fails massively at attempting.
So to say, as many Evolutionary biologists to average non science individuals that this Theory is as close to fact as you can get, its an understatement.
I've already explained beyond mathematical facts we can test and not debate (btw there are Mathematicians that debate even that point), that Biology without Evolution and the massive evidence supporting it is the foundation of all medicine and understanding of the biosphere.
Its amazing how this thread went from people doubting evolution to nit picking terms.
But its late, and the Canucks lost.
