Evolution is a fact, no matter how many Christian zealots like to  claim

natural selection is sufficient to explain the diversity of species  and
the development of  mankind.
If evolution is a fact,  then how come it is referred to as the Theory of Evolution and not the fact of evolution?

Evolution is a demonstrable fact. Evolution as the origin of species is a theory. That's what I think scientists mean by the "Theory of Evolution".
