So we're going into semantics now?
You do know the definition of a Scientific Theory as opposed to the more common definition?

theory Use Theory in a sentence theory /ˈθiəri, ˈθɪəri/ Show Spelled [thee-uh-ree, theer-ee] Show IPA
noun, plural theories.
1.a coherent group of tested general propositions, commonly regarded as correct, that can be used as principles of explanation and prediction for a class of phenomena: Einstein's theory of relativity. Synonyms: principle, law, doctrine.
2.a proposed explanation whose status is still conjectural and subject to experimentation, in contrast to well-established propositions that are regarded as reporting matters of actual fact. Synonyms: idea, notion hypothesis, postulate. Antonyms: practice, verification, corroboration, substantiation.
3.Mathematics. a body of principles, theorems, or the like, belonging to one subject: number theory.
4.the branch of a science or art that deals with its principles or methods, as distinguished from its practice: music theory.
5.a particular conception or view of something to be done or of the method of doing it; a system of rules or principles: conflicting theories of how children best learn to read.
Evolution is both theory and fact when you look more deeply at the words "theory" and "fact" especially as they pertain to Science.
Some interpretations of Evolution are not fact and have never been proven by scientific method is what I'm saying.

Tell me, is it not stupid to say that DNA PROVES the great great great X10,000,000 Grandpa of everyone was an Amoebea?

Considering: (A) that DNA is pretty much the same code with slight variations across the board (remember 94% or higher of your DNA is identical to chimps and it's something like 50% I believe between you and a banana--that's a remarkable fact if you think about it), (B) that we know how those variations arise (genetic mutations), © the age of life and the age of the Earth, and (D) a fossil record that demonstrates exactly the ascent from simple microbes to the diversity we see today that you just described, I can't really imagine what other conclusions you can draw.

Maybe god is an omnipotent strawberry, and he made humans for the sake of the strawberries on Earth.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
-Stephen Jay Gould
