Just to be an annoying pedant.
It is exactly a theory when you have evidence.

It isn't a theory when you don't, that's a hypothesis.
Things don't elevate from theories into fact - hypothesis elevate into theory and become accepted truths. The idea behind that is that the theory can then be refined as you find more evidence, for example with evolution we constantly find more fossils and update our understanding.
