For example, evolution. I know someone who believes in it so strongly that you can't suggest that it's still just a theory, and that it's actually possible that it's incorrect. Unlikely, sure, but possible. He gets irate and claims it as a fact.
It is a theory, but theory in the scientific context doesn't mean what you think it means.
By the way, evolution is a fact.
