a theory in science is used to explain an observable fact. the only difference between the theory of evolution and the theory of gravity is just they are used to explain two different observable facts.

Buts it's not called the theory of gravity. Its called the Law of Gravity.

gravity itself is factual and a law. the explanation for gravity is a theory

just as evolution is a fact and therefore a law. while its explanation is a theory

It's not. Gravity is just part of the Theory of General Relativity.

people don't understand that the word "theory" in common parlance is actually "hypothesis". Theory has a very strong backing of evidence and few if any supported alternate explanations, while a hypothesis is just an idea that hasn't been deeply explored.

But the evolution debate is stupid anyway. Vaccines wouldn't exist if evolution didn't lol
