Yes, it's theory. Here are a few other theories for you:
-Theory of Radiative Transfer
-Cloud Physics Theory of Precipitation
-Theory of the Ventilated Thermocline
-Theory of Baroclinic Instability
-Monin-Obukhov Theory of Convective Turbulence
Now, true or false: the word "theory" is synonymous with "conjecture."
And that article you cited is so full of blatant stupidity it blows the mind.
-Yes, the biology of Darwin's day isn't quite the same as now...but we only use the basic principles of Darwin's theory, not the literal word-for-word version he used.
-The choice is not "Darwinian evolution or god-based answer," as the article states. Read this as follows:
As long as God is an entity that is not open to observation, inference, or empirical testing, he is not an entity that science may postulate as a causal force.
-Scientists are not still arguing whether or not evolution is true. It is the only theory that has come from scientific work that explains the facts as they stand. Why should schools treat the subject matter any differently than how the scientists treat it?

I suppose it would be a vastly exaggerated demand on you to know what "theory" means in the context of science, since you still have to do some catching up on orthography.
After you learned how to spell properly you might want to find out about science, unless religion has fogged all your braincells by then.

Just because it's a theory, it doesn't mean it's not true. The only reason it's still a theory instead of scientific fact is because there's no way in Heaven or Hell that one single scientist can survive for millions of years and track the evolutionary changes of a species.

Well... you might want to be a little closer to the truth of the proposition you're offering to debate.
Actually (check it out for yourself) evolution isn't the theory. Evolution is a fact. The theory aspect is the process called "natural selection."
Just thought you might like to know.

Atomic theory is just a theory, too. Heard of Hiroshima?
"theory" as a scientific term is different from the conversational form of the word.
Anybody told you the Bible is just a book?

...And that 'Theory' is just a word? A label... We call it 'Pythagoras' Theorem', but it's usable as a LAW, for we've never found an exception to the case of C2 = A2+B2, and neither have computers. You are arguing a case of semantics. Me, I'm always up for 'Some Antics'

Someone needs to pay more attention in high school. Theories are the most powerful things we have - they explain and predict what will happen. Theories trump facts and laws.
Take science again. You obviously missed some parts.

A theory, in science, is something that all available supposed evidence points to as being a fact. What the average person defines as "theory" is called a "hypothesis" in science. The "theory" part is in the how, not the if.
The fact about evolutionists can be summed up in this quote by George Wald...
When it comes to the origins of life there are only two possibilities: Creation or spontaneous generation. There is no third way. Spontaneous generation was disproved hundreds of years ago, but that leads us to only one other conclusion, that of supernatural creation. We cannot accept that on philosophical grounds; therefore, we choose to believe the impossible. That life arose from spontaneous chance. - George Wald, "The Origin of Life", Scientific American May 1954
Though proven wrong by sheer math, they still refuse to give it up, just because they cannot stomach the alternative.
"Evolution is a speculation about the unobservable and unrepeatable past. Thus it comes under origins science."
Dr. Jonathan Sarfati

Gravity is not a Theory, its a Law. Pay attention in science classes, and English classes.

Yes, but the evidence is overwhelming. Even in the last 100 years, humans have grown taller. We even develop gills and tails while in the womb. And we have fossil records which document how many plants and animals have changed and evolved. For example; a trylobite from one geologic period to another looks very different.
