Yes, the Theory of Evolution is a theory. That's what you end up with after all the testable, repeatable, documented evidence has been tested, repeated and documented until what remains is a shiny diamond-hard nugget of reality. Calling it, or any theory in the scientific realm, "just a theory" is like saying someone is "just" a gold medal athlete, or a cure for cancer is "just" another drug.
If you have to rely on faith, your house is built on increasingly shifting sand as we sift the Universe with increasingly finer tools and the ever-expanding knowledge that they bring. Your god is rapidly going the same way as all other gods invented by superstitious humans throughout history - vanishing into the gap between the real and the imagined.
If you're going to argue scientific terms, first learn your definitions.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
