Your line looked like you were trying to imply that the theory was a fact, which it rightly isn't.Yes its a theory. Technically speaking. That's why its called a theory. And thats why Dawkins says that it is in the very technical sense.
But just you try using the word "theory" to a believer.
I guess its like how technically speaking "I am almost certain there is no God". But then I might not bother with the "almost" on some occasions.
