A scientific theory is an explanation of facts, not an interpretation.
It's an important distinction to make. Evolution is both fact and theory; the fact is that is happens (for which there is evidence, moreso if you don't make the artificial distinction between micro- and macro-evolution), the theory is that of genetic mutation and natural selection.
