What this discussion shows more than anything is the limitation of mankind to express ourselves (there is a reason that Darwin didn't call it the "Conjecture of Evolution" or the "Hypothesis of Evolution").

This confusion & limitation is clearly exhibited by the use of the same word (THEORY) to express contradictory conditions ...

THEORY

A set of statements or principles devised to explain a group of facts or phenomena, especially one that has been repeatedly tested or is widely accepted and can be used to make predictions about natural phenomena.
Abstract reasoning; speculation: a decision based on experience rather than theory.
An assumption based on limited information or knowledge; a conjecture.
