I always wondered why people spouted out theories as fact. (I guess the word Theory doesn't mean much to them)

In science, you don't draw an unsubstantiated conclusion from the start and then, look for "facts" that support the conclusion. You first ask yourself a question on a specific topic and form a hypothesis on it. Then, you test your hypothesis with experiments. You collect the data and analyze it to see if it supports or doesn't support your hypothesis. Even if your results support your hypothesis, you don't stop there. More questions will arise and thus, more hypotheses will be tested.

I'm well aware of the scientific method, thank you. 

Because Theory's are both a Theory and a Fact.

Gravity exists yet it's still a Theory.
