How can people still deny evolution?

Evolution is as scientifically accepted as gravity and photosynthesis. It has been confirmed in every field of science, and we all recognize evolution as a fact, because we know it happens. You often hear from indoctrinated creationists that it's "just a theory." In science, theory doesn't mean just a guess. That is the definition of a hypothesis. 

A scientific theory, by definition, is a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world, based on a body of facts that have been repeatedly confirmed through observation and experiment. Such fact-supported theories are not "guesses" but reliable accounts of the real world. Similar to evolution, there is a theory of gravity, cells, atomic structure, the heliocentric universe, tectonic plates, etc.. that explains WHY and HOW they happen. Theories are actually the highest form of scientific knowledge that exist. Once something is a theory, it cannot become a law. Because laws are rather just scientific statements, whereas a scientific theory provides mechanism and explanations. Theories themselves contain facts, laws, and observations. It is a scientific fact that evolution occurs, and a scientific theory to provide explanations on why and how evolution happens in all life forms on Earth. It is fact that organisms change and evolve.
