I find it hilarious when creationists dismiss evolution as just a theory. Because by stating that evolution is a theory, they are confirming that evolution has been scientifically verified.

Because in scientific language a theory is "is a well-substantiated, unifying explanation for a set of verified, proven hypotheses." While a hypothesis "consists either of a suggested explanation for an observable phenomenon or of a reasoned proposal predicting a possible causal correlation among multiple phenomena".
