Gravatar.com Hmmm... even Pope John Paul 2 said famously that "evolution is more than a theory" and conceded that the mountains of evidence that have been accumulated regarding evolution have effectively proven. Not every aspect of the evolution of species is understood, but there is no doubt that evolution occurred. It is a fact.

You seem to think that facts and theories are mutually exclusive; they are not. In science, a theory represents a comprehensive, successfully tested explanation of whole suites of facts. Indeed, in this sense, evolution is far more substantial than a simple fact; it explains a whole bunch of facts.

Evolution is as much a fact of nature as gravity and germs; the fact that there are theories of gravity and the germ theory of disease does not mean that gravity and germs are 'merely theories' and not facts.
