Corrections:
Evolution (the genetic changes within a species due to mutation) is a fact, we've observed it happen (Lenski experiments, croatian island lizards etc).
The Theory of Evolution is a theory (hence the name). This is simply an explanation of Evolution (the fact, see above). It's how we reckon it all works, and the key of the theory is Natural Selection.
So your analogy about gravity is slightly wrong. Gravity (the scientific fact) is a fact, whilst the theory of gravity attempts to explain the fact.
