What...."various" theories of evolution?
The term evolution is too broad.
You can mean (1) the process of change over time, (2) the whole "history" from single cell to today (this fossil begat that fossil etc.), or you can mean (3) the actually mechanism -- change over time through natural selection and random mutations--accounting for the diversity all life today.
Which ones of these are theory (in the casual sense of the word) and which are fact?
