>Biological evolution is a change in the genetic characteristics of a population over time. That this happens is a fact. Biological evolution also refers to the common descent of living organisms from shared ancestors. The evidence for historical evolution -- genetic, fossil, anatomical, etc. -- is so overwhelming that it is also considered a fact. The theory of evolution describes the mechanisms that cause evolution.<

This is essentially how my advisor described the difference as well. Change in organisms over time is an observed fact. Theories suggest the mechanisms accounting for this change.
