Oops, there you go again, making the same mistake. A scientific theory is the highest status an explanation can achieve. Whenever anyone says "only a theory", they embarrass themselves a bit. Theories can also be facts. "It's only a fact!" sounds kind of silly, no?But is it true?
You don't know. You only have a theory.
Is it true? Its known to be true as much as any theory can be known to be true. It passes every test, explains the observations, and has yielded accurate predictions in every way we know how to check them. Also, there is no other explanation that meets this criteria. This is how we know if explanations are true or not.
This is how we know the theory of evolution is fact.
It's a theory because WE DON'T KNOW IF IT'S TRUE.
And you can stop this bullshit of "Oops, there you go again", because that's just going to make me stop talking to you.
