She is entirely correct though, Evolution is only a theory and is not fact. Being that it is a theory created by us, it is flawed and not the "truth" (we will never discover the "truth" as it is fundamentally impossible for us to). But it is far better supported by available evidence then creationism is, which is thoroughly disproven by available evidence (ID theory on the other hand cannot be disproven, but is utterly useless because you can't disprove it.. ever).

Nor can you prove it, precisely because there is no real evidence at all one way or the other. This means it is not 'theory' at all, but belief based on speculation.

A "Theory" is not the same as a Scientific Theory.

Somedays I just want to hit these people...

A Scientific Law describes a small set of actions or a single action. When one observes something and analyzes what is occurring based on known Scientific Law they develop a Hypothesis. When that Hypothesis is analyzed by others and confirmed it becomes a Theory.
