Perhaps... SATANISM!?

Your knowledge of science is very poor.
You're using the common definition of theory and applying it to science - you are wrong.
The theory of Gravity is a theory too, do you doubt that?
The theory of evolution is "HOW evolution occurs" not that it does. That is considered fact, just as gravity is.

In common usage, it's a conjecture or speculation.
In science, however, the word has a completely different meaning. In science it is more like a 'law' or a statement that explains a group of facts. It has been repeatedly tested and observed and can be used to make future predictions.
You do have a dictionary, right?

Actually evolution is a term described in The Theory of Evolution

No.
See General Theory of Relativity; you aren't going to argue that gravity is only speculative are you?
Evolution is a fact, the process of evolution is described by hte theory.

sigh... stupid people.
The theory of evolution refers to the mechanism... not the actual process. If you deny evolution, then you also deny we can breed to similar pedigrees of animal with predicable results and two different pedigrees with more random results. Also, there are mountains of scientific evidence to support evolution, nothing supporting creationism except desire for eternal happiness. Do some research on your own religion and you will realize that satan is a metaphor... such as he was supposedly created by your (all powerful, yet unable to control one little angel) god anyway and nowhere does it even say he was rebellious, but rather that he was doing as he was told so... to sum it all up.
Evolution is true... we don't know how it works but it is. You need to start learning and educating yourself (including in your own religion) so you dont try to shake hands with a bus and end up road kill.

You need to check what the word 'theory' means in reference to science. A theory is the explaination of a scientific law, not speculation or conjecture.
It is a theory that has been tested time and time again, and is valid.

Evolution is a theory. Satanism is pointing out God's arrogance and neglect. Since most "evolutionists" are atheists, they just point out that God doesn't exist. Your logic is flawed. But then again, you're lacking logic entirely.

Evolution IS just a theory, yes, but it's backed up by a lot of scientific evidence. It's not Satan.
Believing in evolution doesn't mean you HAVE to deny belief in God, or vice-a-versa.

It's a fact that all life on Earth is related by common descent, and evolution is a theory which seeks to explain that fact... which it does extremely well.

You might want to take the bold and audacious step of consulting a dictionary, which will lead you to the definition of the word "theory" as applied to scientific endeavors.
Or, if you like, you may just as easily remain as you are.
