well, a theory is a general idea about something,so i do not think so.

*A theory is a hypothesis well accepted by the scientific community. So I wouldn't think it was a fact considering a hypothesis is an educated guess.

Theories tend to Remain a Pseudo Fact, until proven otherwise, the theorist, is under no obligation to Prove his Theory, which makes anyone capable of writing a Theory, without using any Facts whatsoever. Of course it's always advisable to throw a few facts around within the Theory, to add some Credibility to your Theory. Remember if you could prove a theory as Fact, then it would no longer be a Theory, but a Fact.
