Biological evolution is just as factual as the theory of gravity. We know approximately when life appeared on the earth, that it diversified over time, species are related via common ancestors, and that natural selection (Charles Darwin's theory of the origin of species) is the main force behind how species change and adapt over time. Those things are facts of evolution.
Just curious, what type of evidence would change your mind about Darwin's theory not being a fact?
