What seldom is
presented to the public is the fact that the Earth would be
warming at this point (according to ice core data) if humans
never existed.
One could actually make a case that
the mechanism of Darwinian evolution, natural selection, is a
fact. We have seen natural selection both in nature and in
the laboratory. It happens.
What is not a fact, but rather a
theory, is global evolution, the evolution of species via
natural selection throughout the Earth's history. We have a
fossil record (fact) and a mechanism (natural selection), but
all that does is make global evolution a very good theory, as
you say. So, scientists should present evolution as a very
good theory, not a fact.
