You do not understand the difference between a scientific “theory” and my cousin Ralph’s “theory” that gnomes are stealing his socks.
A scientific theory is an explanation for observed data that has been tested and confirmed to such a degree to be regarded as fact.
Consider the germ theory of disease, the atomic theory of matter, or the theory of gravitation. I doubt you think that these are “just theories” and the only difference between them and the theory of evolution, is that the theory of evolution has MUCH more evidence than they do, collected over the past 150 years in multiple scientific disciplines.
