Physics is the study of energy and matter and how they interact. It is the most fundamental and far reaching of all the sciences because physics is about the energy and matter we interact with everyday. Physics is about learning, understanding, and knowing what makes the universe tick. I love Physics because I like knowing how things work.
Physics can be daunting at first but it is so exciting because it influences other areas of science. We realize that there are whole new worlds, both bigger and smaller than our human senses can detect. Worlds to explore.
Albert Einstein changed physics when he proposed that matter and energy are two sides of the same coin with his equation E=mc2. Few people believed Einstein when he came out with this but as more physicist tested his hypothesis, they found that it matched reality and was compatible with other Laws of Science.
With the above introduction, I want to outline Physics and then talk about the question, Is Evolution a Theory.

With the above outline, are you overwhelmed at the amount of knowledge that Physics covers? Well, I am too because each of these items has its own Law or Theory. Something worth noting is that none of Laws in any one subject can conflict with a Law in anther subject. For any of the Laws and Theories to be accepted, they must be compatible with each other.
Is the theory of evolution compatible with Physics? Is Evolution a Theory? No. The theory of evolution which begins with nothing exploding and expanding into something and evolving into an organized stellular, chemical, geological, and biological system by chance and natural selection is untrue.
What? Am I saying that the theory of evolution is NOT true? Why? Evolution cannot be true simply because it is in-compatible with several Laws of Physics. Physics and evolution cannot both be true because the Law of Non-Contradictions says that Theories cannot contradict each other. Things have to be compatible.
Why does physics matter in the theory of evolution? Physics falsifies the theory of evolution.
