Minor problem: a LOT of theists I've spoken to and seem to think that the word "theory" used in science, is a synonym for" "hypothesis"
Evolution is a scientific theory .
A scientific theory is an explanation of an aspect of the natural world that can be repeatedly tested and verified in accordance with the scientific method, using accepted protocols of observation, measurement, and evaluation of results. Where possible, theories are tested under controlled conditions in an experiment.[1][2] In circumstances not amenable to experimental testing, theories are evaluated through principles of abductive reasoning. Established scientific theories have withstood rigorous scrutiny and embody scientific knowledge.[3]

And, before you educate him, you have to undo the brainwashing he suffered before the age of 5.
Good luck with that.
I was not brainwashed. I took a critical and logical look at my faith for many years.
