The phrase "Evolution is a fact"

The phrase "Evolution is a fact" is interesting to me, semantically. My question for discussion is whether this is a scientifically justifiable statement.

---

Yes, it is.Evolution can be described by the phrase "descent with modification." Change in the population of various organisms across generations has been directly observed, both in the lab and in nature. Thus, it is an fact.Simple as that.

Did it happen? Do you know it did? (Were you there? Was anybody there?) Or did it happen because it must have and you are personally sure that it must be possible based on your belief system. How about evidentially? Is it scientifically provable that the morphological mutations of the extent seen in the fossil record are even possible? How do you know that? Is this macro-evolution trick real or is it extrapolation based on imagination?
