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.
Not at all. Though some anthropological conclusions may have been changed.
The theory of evolution was originally presented by Charles Darwin. Since the time of Darwin, there have been many other scientists who have contributed to evolutionary theory. One notable evolutionary scientist of the 21st century is Richard Dawkins.
Charles Darwin was one of the first influential scientists to support the evolution theory. On his voyages he came across the Galapagos islands which had a group of birds. He noticed that although these birds were of the same species at first, that they having been separated across the islands, developed different characteristics and soon were no longer able to interbreed. This was the start of the theory of evolution for Charles Darwin as he explained their change of characteristics by saying that they evolved.
Modern evolutionary theories are still based off of Charles Darwin's theories of evolution published in 1859. They have yet been proven as scientifically inadequate or incorrect, nor have new, more plausible theories been created so Darwin's theories are still the basis for modern evolutionary science.

Animal behaviors are not inheritable.
Yes it has been proved
It does not appear that the book The Genetical Theory of Evolution has ever been published anywhere, so it does not appear to have an author.
Mostly by explaining why these creationist criticisms are based in an incomplete understanding of the principles of knowledge and an insufficient knowledge of the relevant data. Creationists say that one of the main problems of Darwin's theory of evolution is that evolution cannot be proved. They say that the reason why it cannot be proved is because no one was there to observe the process of evolution. They call it a "theory" in the sense of an hypothesis. Scientists say that nothing is 'proved' in science, in the sense of mathematical proof. All theories are judged by the abundance and quality of the evidence in their favor. 'Being there' is not a requirement for theories of stellar fusion or of the internal workings of the atom. What matters is that the evidence can be observed in the present. And the word "theory", in science, does not carry the same meaning as used in the colloquial sense, of 'hypothesis' or 'guess'. A scientific theory is an explanation of some phenomenon or phenomena that has been extensively tested, and for which no contrary evidence exists.
Evolution, Atomic Theory
A theory is an explanation based on evidence and reasoning to describe a phenomenon, while logic is the principles of reasoning and inference used to make sense of information and draw conclusions. Theories are used to understand and explain the world, while logic is the systematic approach to ensuring the validity of arguments and reasoning.
Tribal communities are good examples of evolutionary theory of government, because the family unit is often important but overseen by a leader. A biblical example is the 12 tribes of Jacob because the head of the family formed the larger government. Each tribe was headed by one of Jacobs son, and Jacob ruled over them all.
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.
Charles Darwin. His theory is The Theory of Natarual Seletion. A theory that has been proved even today
Why do you believe 2+2=4? Because it has been proved through logic, facts, and reasoning. Now why would you believe in evolution? Same reason. Granted a theory such as evolution is more complex than proving why 2+2=4, but the principles are the same.
Some Christians do believe in Evolution. Others do not. For those who do, they believe it the same way as any. Those who do not, argue that without Adam and Eve having fallen in the garden of Eden, there would have been no reason for Christ to sacrifice himself. Their "theory" then, is that the heavens and Earth were created as described in Genesis. There is only one theory of evolution, that particular one proved by science. The majority of Christianity accepts this theory as being correct, and makes no claim as to its own theory (which would in fact, only be a hypothesis until overwhelming evidence was gathered).
No. Evolutionary theory is one of the best supported theories in the natural sciences.
