Begging The Question
Evolution is not fact.
A fact is "something that actually exists; reality; truth", and evolution is "change in the gene pool of a population from generation to generation by such processes as mutation, natural selection, and genetic drift." Since that type of change in the gene pool actually exists, evolution is fact.
