Fact as in scientific fact. Where the overwhelming evidence points to evolution, where it is no longer unreasonable to not accept the theory. All science is tentative, there is no 100% absolute fact in science.
So, if the evidence points so strongly supports a theory, I have no problem with evolution being accepted as a scientific fact.
This also goes for gravity as well. It is still a theory because we know that it exists and it can be easily demostrated, but we still don't know exactly how, or why, it works. Now, Creationists always go on that since evolution is "just a theory" that their religious beliefs should be accepted as well on equal terms. So, since gravity is "Just a theory" as well are they going to dismiss it now and when they jump up are they going to keep on going?
They don't understand exactly what a scientific theory is.
