Is Evolutionary Theory Scientific Fact or Scientific Theory?
The overarching principle for arrival at characterization of a Scientific Premise or Theory as Scientific Fact is satisfaction of the principle of Replicability of Observations and Measurements.
The Law of Gravity is scientific fact, only because it has been infinitely observed and measured, and each time, has produced exactly the same results. The Law of Relativity also has character of Scientific Fact.
Every time a plane takes off, and absent any human or mechanical malfunctions, lands, factual nature of the Law of Gravity is established.
Every time it appears, from your standpoint, as if the wheels of a vehicle that is in motion spin backwards, but yet, another located at a different standpoint observes forward spin, there is satisfaction of the Law of Relativity. You each observe the same velocity, but neither is able to identify exact location. The phenomenon that is ‘Parallax’ is derivative of the Law of Relativity.
