A "theory" in science can still be fact. It doesn't mean the same as in layman speech.

Gravity has been proven by maths.
Evolution has been proven by observation, the fossil record, biochemistry, genetics, bio-mechanics, etc, etc, etc.

If you want to call the Theory of Evolution the Fact of Evolution or the Law of Evolution then do so. It is still true whatever it is called.
A theory and a law are two different thing in the scientific process. For a Theory to become a Law, it must be scientifically [iproven. There is proof behind theories, but the theory itself cannot be proven. If it was, it would become a law. All Laws start as Theories but not all Theories become Laws.
