If there is any doubt, one can not teach it as fact. You can teach it and explore it as a theory, but not fact. Evolutionists liked you are not willing to do anything but treat it as the gospel.

That evolution happens is fact (that is, species change over time). The idea first proposed by Darwin, that the fact of evolution is caused by mutation and natural selection is a theory. It's the only scientific theory we have to explain evolution. The only thing treated as gospel, to my knowledge, is the bible itself.

"That evolution happens is fact (that is, species change over time)."

This is certainly accurate. Thanks for making a distinction though.
