Theories are science; I don't know where you get definition. Plus you seem to have contradicted yourself, unless I misunderstood what you wrote. The scientific method is only one tool of science and there are other ways to gain information on our Universe.

As for Evolution, maybe you should read up the idea about where the Earth came from. It certainly isn't from nothing. It's linked to the Big Bang, galaxy formation, star formation, the formation of elements inside of stars, the evolution of stars, super novae, gravity, chemistry, and a lot more. And all of these objects are studied using observations and models, not always using the scientific method.

It's not that scientists have a belief in evolution; it's currently the best theory that fits the observations (Very nicely as well.) If another idea came along that was even better scientists would throw out evolution and put that theory as number one instead. (I use the term ā??throw outā? loosely, for it does take time for new theories to become well accepted)
No religion (that I know of) come close to anything like this.
