The statement "evolution is both a theory and a fact" is often seen in biological literature. The "fact of evolution" refers to the changes in the genetic material of a population of biological organisms over time, which are known to have occurred through scientific observations and experiments. The "theory of evolution" refers to the modern evolutionary synthesis, which is the current scientific explanation of how these changes occur. Misuse and misunderstanding of these terms have been used to construct arguments disputing the validity of the theory of evolution. The distinction between fact and theory is not limited to the study of evolution.

In this way, gravity is also both a scientific fact and a scientific theory. v
