But that is not how science uses the term. In many ways a scientific theory is much more impressive than a scientific fact.
For example, the statement that species change over time is a scientific fact. This can be seen in hyper speed in the laboratory with fruit flies. Evolution, which tries to describe all aspects of this change (genetically and physically), is a scientific theory.
If you drop a ball from the Sears tower, in normal conditions, it will fall to the ground. That is a scientific fact. That's gravity. But gravity is still a scientific theory. No one has explained why gravity works the way it does, or why exceptions exist.
The only scientific laws are those that are very specific and often purely mathematical.
To be specific, evolution is a scientific theory, composed of numerous scientific facts.
I fully understand the term "scientific theory" but there is no such thing as "Science facts" What you described are the results of a series of tests. I have no problem with Evolution and I am a christian, but I think you run the risk of pushing people away and or making them dislike you. i ran the same risk with my PS (it outed me as a religious person) I felt it has helped me in some places and hurt me in others.
Just be ready to get dinged some places. Any religious affiliated school could take offense and schools that have a large population of religious people could be turned off by this PS.
Pretty well written though.
