Anyway, evolution is obviously fact. The exact paths and the driving mechanisms are subject to theory, but evolution, including speciation, has been observed in the wild and in the lab. That evolution occurs is not even a theory, but established fact. Exactly HOW, and what paths it's taken is theory.
Creationism, on the other hand, doesn't even rise to the level of theory in the scientific sense. It's a story, one that some take literally and some take allegorically, and some simply discard. It has no testable hypotheses, and is not technically falsifiable, and thus is not even a scientific theory.
