"Evolution is a theory and is in the realm of philosophy not science."

A scientific theory isn't a guess.
A scientific theory is a STRONGLY SUPPORTED assertion that has stood up to numerous trials and tests. (And my supported, I mean by experiments and tests, not just supported by a populous of humans.)
In science, a "theory" holds MORE weight that something that someone would call a "fact".
Facts can be disproven (and ARE all the time), but scientific theories have gone through rigorous testing, verification, peer review, reproduction. Scientific hypothesis are the guesses. It takes a TON of evidence before a hypothesis is accepted as a theory.
