Which are?

One uses the scientific method and the other one faith.

They couldn't be even more far from each other.

LOL

Poor english? You sure about that? Because in science a theory has a different definition than a normal theory. Look it up: Scientific theory. Evolution is a fact. Saying otherwise is pure ignorance.

Double LOL.  Did you even read what I said?  Someone saying "It's not a theory, it's a fact" do not understand the meaning of "theory" as used in science.  They are essentially saying "It's not a proven idea with lots of reasearch over a prolonged period of time, it's a fact".  Actual scientists generally steer away from the word "fact" - and other absolutes - as it implies closed-mindedness.  Evolution is very, very, very likely true, but as a scientific community we will continue to research it and find things we don't yet understand.

Triple LOL. Did you read what a scientific theory is? Do you actually know what a fact is? 

Fact:

.

1. something that actually exists; reality; truth:

2. something known to exist or to havehappened:

You observe something, you make a hypothesis, you test it, make more hypotheses and go to a scientific theory if you gained enough evidence. Thus you make predictions and more tests until all answers and more evidences are found. Last step is making a law.
