Yes, evolution is a theory. But it is not "just a theory" in the sense that you probably mean.

In science, it is something else entirely, and when something becomes scientific theory, it has been very well substantiated. It is more synonymous with the word "fact" in this usage, unlike the previous usage I used as an example. in fact, all scientific discoveries are considered theories. hell, the fact that our bodies are made up of cells that reproduce is still just a theory.

With that support a hypothesis moves to the next step in the scientific method and becomes accepted as a valid explanation of a phenomenon. Facts are the framework for the scientific method and a Scientific Theory is supported by facts.
