No, of course not. Evidence does not prove evolution - it validates the theory.

Evidence which Darwin had included limited fossils, and observed apparent speciation in birds.

Why are vestigial proof of evolution?

Evidence, not proof. Scientists do not prove things. Your coccyx for one bit of evidence, This is the " stump " of a vestigial tail that is now used for another purpose in humans; to help with sitting. Sometimes this tail does grow out in child development. This is evidence of the concept of evolutionary common ancestry.


Why do we have a good evolutionary record of the horse?

Because the horse did NOT evolve, people just made evolution up. There are many things to prove evolution is fake.


What evidence did Arthur Holmes have to support his theory?

he didn't have anything to prove


What arguments did Charles Darwin use to prove his theory?

The foundation of Darwin's theory of evolution rests upon his observation of a species of bird that lived on the Galapagos Islands in the Pacific Ocean. The unusual feature of the birds were that they had various beak sizes. Darwin suggested that this change was a process brought about by the sheer survival urge of the species over a long period of time. This assumption is partly true but I believe all life including humans have a mechanism built into the DNA(the complete blue-print of the physical body) to allow such changes of adaption to a changing environment for survival to occur. Also Darwin suggested that these changes would need to take thousand through to millions of years but this is incorrect as well. Slight changes could take from two to three generations. It is beyond all intelligence to reason how Charles Darwin went from his observation of the Galapagos Island birds to developing a theory which suggests that humans are the sons and daughters of apes who were the sons and daughters of slugs which owe their existence to a molecule and a source of energy that started its motor running. My guess is that Charles had someone whispering in his ear and the story he told sounded quite plausible, in fact exciting and true. Evolution as prescribed by Darwin has nothing to do with the generation of species and life, it has to do with an alternative view to the belief that there is a Creator, a Supreme Being, a God of immense and total power and all knowledge. Evolution is the, 'seed of doubt', sown by Lucifer to appease his followers who are offended by the idea of a God, and Jesus Christ, a savior of mankind; As there is a living God, there is a leader of the enemies of God. Many pro-evolutionist have been caught out falsifying proof to support Darwin's theory and you have to ask, why? Why invent a missing link between man and ape? Why make documentaries, news stories, school books etc that teach and speak of evolution as fact when it's simply false? Another one of many life conspiracies people need to deal with.>


Has Lamarck's theory of evolution been proved?

Scientists do not prove things. Lamarck's theory is long refuted as acquired characteristics and the use and disuse concepts are not explanations for evolution of populations.

Did Charles Darwin has scientific proof of his evolution theory?

Scientists did not prove things then anymore than they prove things now. Evidence, masses of converging evidence support the theory of evolution by natural selection. Darwin, in his day, had much evidence to support his theory. All the way from artificial selection to island biogeography. Since that time the theory has moved on to where it is no longer just Darwin's theory, but modified and supported with so much evidence that the theory became the bedrock of biology.

Did hummans start by living as monkeys?

there is no actual way to prove whether or not we evolved (Charles Darwin's theory of evolution) or if we were created by god. my answer is no. i say that we were created by god. but that is my opinion.


How does scientist prove half ape-half man?

They can't prove anything about Charles Darwin's evolution. Here's the thing they cant prove, along with everything else, humans being able to reason. Apes can't do that, they do everything by instinct.


What do scientists use fossil evidence to prove?

Evolution


What did Darwin observe in Rio de Janeiro?

Charles Darwin traveled all around the world trying to prove his theory of evolution, when he traveled to Rio de janeiro he started looking for evidence in animals, however he discoved a club, drank way to much, and found an incredibly hot woman and made sweet, sweet love with her till his death...like a boss


What evidence did scientist use to support evolution theory?

First of all, evolution is a FACT not a theory. You must be referring to Charles Darwin's theory of evolution by means of natural selection. There is no denying the fact that evolution happens, scientists just didn't know exactly how it worked until Darwin suggested one plausible scientific explanation which he called natural selection. Natural selection is simply the change in allele frequencies of an organism which results that organism becoming either better or worse suited to survive in its environment. Being better suited to survive means that the organism is more likely to pass on the beneficial genetic trait to it's offspring. Rather than asking for evidence which helps prove evolution, try looking for verifiable scientific evidence which disproves it. After all, science is not about making claims and looking for evidence to prove them, but rather generating hypothesis and looking for ways to disprove them.


Does evidence prove or disprove evolution?

Law and math prove things. Science supports tentative ( more or less ) explanations of natural phenomenon with evidence. The evidence overwhelmingly supports evolutionary theory. PS Evolution itself is a observed and observable fact.


Why are the ideas about evolution called theories?

Because although there is evidence to support the claims, it isn't possible to prove evolution indefinately.


Is Darwin's theory proven?

A. It is no longer Darwin's theory as the theory of evolution by natural selection has been modified and added to since Darwin's day. Still, Darwin would recognize the theory as it stands today. B. Science does not " prove " things as that is a mathematical concept. Science supports it's theories with overwhelming amounts of converging evidence. That said, the theory of evolution by natural selection has been upheld scientifically for over 150 years and had withstood many tests and challenges. The theory of evolution by natural selection ios the bedrock upon which modern biology is built.

How did Gregor Mendel's experiments prove Charles Darwin's theory of evolution wrong?

That traits can be inherited directly from a parent -- blending of traits does not always happen. For example, if one fertilized a green pea with a yellow pea, it was completely possible to get a fully green pea, instead of a greenish-yellow one.

You could never get any type of evidence to prove untrue things...
