Science decides the name given and its definition on everything that is studied and tested in all fields of science. In other words, they are writing the history book of life and they have the power to slant the content anyway they wish to convince the public that their story is a fact. Of course, there are high standards on what will be considered accurate to be published and credited then it is allowed to put it in print and to use it to teach students.
Once it gets to this level, all content is a fact proved by science, otherwise how else can a student pass the exams and get a college degree to become a scientist. As new generations learn more information and if approved by peer review (must fit into current theory definition) that sometimes they must change some of the words or how it is defined but does not change the theory.
The story told by science and the story told by religions have one thing in common and that is it is written by humans. There is no other form of life that can tell us who is right or wrong in this debate. No one has seen or heard from a "God" and scientists make up their own story of biological living entities history.
