This should be a must read for those arguing over theory vs. fact:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evoluti...heory_and_fact

Evolution is a fact in the sense of it being overwhelmingly validated by the evidence. Frequently evolution is said to be a fact in the same way as the Earth revolving around the Sun is a fact.

The terms "fact" and "theory" can be applied to evolution, just as they are to gravity. Misuse and misunderstanding of how those terms are applied to evolution have been used to construct arguments disputing the validity of evolution.

Evolution is a fact and a theory.
