With regards to gravity, I assumed that gravity was more than a theory. We hear about the "laws of gravity". But after doing an internet search, I do see that it says gravity is technically still a theory, so you may be right with your analogy.
As Danzig said below, how the universe came to be is not the purview of evolution. There are three branches of Science- Physics, Biology and Chemistry. It's an easy way to weed out a lot of Creationist sites that insist they're approaching evolution scientifically. If they bring up the Big Bang, they're not talking about Biology; they're talking about Physics and a site that doesn't know the difference is not going to be very informative.

As to whether she "may" be right with her analogy- there's no "may" about it; she is right. Theory with a big T vs theory with a small t. Seriously, look at the link I posted about 5 misconceptions about evolution. It'll make things much clearer to you.
