To answer your question, there is no such thing as scientific fact. We accept scientific theories as true when we find the evidence to be overwhelmingly conclusive. But even in those cases we sometimes find that we were wrong. Religions were created to provide answers to questions that couldn't be explained by the evidence of our eyes, because we don't see the "real" nature of the universe. Science has provided much more plausible answers to many of those questions, but not all. Until we can answer all of those questions, I think you will have a hard time convincing people of your point of view by saying, "I am right, and you are wrong."
One of my favorite quotes from Albert Einstein is: "I want to know God's thoughts, all else is details." The purpose of that statement is to inspire people to think. Perhaps a quotable statement needs to be less diatribe and more inspiration.
