What does it mean when it states that evolution is just a theory?

Evolution is a fact. The theory of evolution by natural selection is what you are trying to talk about. When someone says " evolution is just a theory " they are using the vulgar, common sense of the word theory. They mean guess, hunch and the like. The theory of evolution by natural selection is in the scientific sense of the word theory, which means a body of explanatory work supported by myriad lines of converging evidence that has been tested rigouusly and replicated often. Any good dictionary uses this scientific meaning of theory as the primary meaning of the word.

Show them a good dictionary. The scientific meaning is usually the primary meaning given in good dictionaries for the word theory. Theory is the highest concept in science as it is a explanatory frame work supported by much evidence and tested hypothesis for a phenomenon observed in nature. ( a fact/law ) You can generate testable hypothesis from theories. Theory encompasses law and fact and explains much of law and fact. A theory is falsifiable.

How is scientific theory is different from the way most people use the word theory and explain the important the theory of evolution has on modern biology?

The vulgar meaning of theory is that one " guesses ", or just has an idea over a cup of coffee. The scientific meaning, which is the primary meaning in any good dictionary, is that theory is basically an explanation of phenomenon,( observation, fact, law, ) and this is logically consistent internally and supported by many lines of converging evidence. Simply put, the theory of evolution by natural selection is the cornerstone of biology. Biology would be an exercise in natural history " stamp collecting " is not for the theory of evolution by natural selection explaining so much ( not everything ) about evolution.
