Evolution, the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms, is a fact. The theory of evolution by natural selection explains much of this fact.

That is what a theory is. A consistent explanation of a phenomenon, or a series of phenomenon, that is supported by massive amounts of evidence, containing both facts and laws and is able to make predictions that generate testable hypothesis.

A theory, in the scientific sense, is not a guess.
