I do not so much " believe it " as I an convinced by the myriad lines of converging evidences that support the theory of evolution by natural selection.

The theory predicts that evolution will happen and in certain ways. The observed evolution makes this prediction correct. It also defines evolution as happening, and as such is perfect evidence in support of it.
There is strong support for the theory of evolution due to fossils that have been found by archeologists. The fossil records show evidence of evolution over billions of years.
There is no proven theory of evolution only the physical evidence of what Chuck Norris has allowed to live.
No. If one believes in god(s) one has stepped outside the remit of science. Methodological naturalism is the concept science must adhere to in the erection of theory. Supernatural forces can not be supported by the evidence and are not subject to falsification. If you wish to believe in god, do so, but deistic evolution has not one scintilla of evidence to support it.
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.

Yes, the theory of evolution is widely accepted as a scientific fact. It explains the diversity of living organisms on Earth through the process of natural selection, genetic variation, and adaptation over time. Multiple lines of evidence from various scientific fields support the theory of evolution.
Evidence of past glaciations have nothing to do with evolution except to show that the Earth is much older than 10,000 years old.
Because many Theist that believe in Intellegent Design blindly deny the scientific process to make theory base on evidence. They do confuse the evolution with abiogenesis to be the same matter. They don't realized they can go against the theory of evolution and abiogenesis scientifically by giving out evidence of intellegent design and not using Ad Populum fallacy under what they called freedom of believe or simply find the unknown area in abiogenesis. Theory without evidence support had no value to be considered in science class. Without scientific basis and motivation based on blind faith,roblem in school class would continue.
Intelligent design, Hovind Theory Added: The above are not scientific theories but more ideological assertions in nature. No positive evidence supports either assertion.
Yes. If evolution was not widely supported by evidence, then it would be regarded as a hypothesis rather than a theory.
I am a geologist and I know of no theory of "geologic evolution". "Evolution" as defined by Darwin describes the origin of species based on the survival of the fittest. This certainly can not be applied to geological processes, although life is integral to geology.
It is generally thought to support the Theory of Evolution.
