Micro as far as people can observe is perfectly fine. Macro is another story. (as in each side refuses to acknowledge any validity in the other's side.)
Also, is it really evolution, or is it abiogenisis? (the begining of life with no intelligent design) Evolution goes hand in hand with abiogenisis, but is different. For that I suggest a simple Einstein quote: *Einstein smashes a beaker* He asks, "What are the odds of this beaker randomly putting itself back together?" "None" responded someone. "The odds of every organism on Earth coming about without intelligent design is even less than that of the beaker reforming." Or something to the gist of that.
Evolution and Natural Selection are two different things. (they go hand in hand but are still two sperate entities.) Evolution is indeed still a theory. It is also a fact. Evolution as theory and fact - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia see?
Evolution explains why species change over time. Theory
Evolution can be observed. Fact

Natural Selection is an aspect of the evolutionary theory, evolution can occur through natural seletion according to science but I still call evolution a theory.
An example being, a population in a species gets subjected to a desiease, those with an immunity to it survive and increase in numbers while the ones that have no immunity to it die. Which means that after a certain time the population would be immune to that desiease.
Also there wasn't a lot of evidence to the evolutionary theory in Darwin's time as compared to now, since we have genetics and more advanced technology.
