You should say "model" or "theory", or something like that, not fact. I think model describes it best.
Facts, in the scientific method, means data, measurements, usually.
And facts in law and politics are something else entirely again.
sorry to be a language and rhetoric geek, but use of the word "fact" like that just sets you up for easy proceedural rebuttal - they do a strawman argument over the word fact.
