The only ones trying really really hard to convince people it's not a scientific fact are the creationists...which is amusing considering their theory has ZERO evidence or facts

In your opinion. They have evidence and facts, you may not accept them as valid or may interpret them differently, but they are there. What I see in the above sentiment is jumping onto a team and cheering for 'your side'. That is not objective science.

I don't think you understand what "theory" in science means...it's not a "we think that" statement, it's rather a "we know".

Evolution is such a theory. It's SCIENTIFIC FACT, and not just guess work. They are using part of the evolutionary theory in modern gene research and pharmaceutical or bio-tech industries today.
