But more than that, evolution *is* a theory, not a fact. It's a scientific theory, which is a step higher than facts. It takes a bunch of facts and combines them together into a single explanatory and predictive description.
From the complete paper:
"A population of billions of RNA enzymes with RNA ligase activity was made to evolve continuously, with real-time monitoring of the population size and fitness."
and
"The RNA enzyme that was chosen for this study is a descendant of the class I RNA ligase, first described by Bartel and Szostak [ref]"
Further, "Ligase" is a class of enzymes that helps links two molecules together.
