Evolution is based on the principle of natural selection, so in order to see what science has come up with as "evidence", you must understand natural selection. Briefly, natural selection is when a group of organisms detect a change in their habitat and start spontaneous changes in their anatomy or behaviour through generations. Scientists have made research on a certain insect that used to feed off of hay, this type of insect lived off of hay around the world, so it wasn't a specific case. A couple of years later, farmers have noticed that those insects have now started to feed off of apples. After scientists got involved and started studying the insects, they tracked the whole change of behaviour down to a small farm in America. This farm used to be filled with cows and the farmer then sold all his cows to a milk company, so he got rid of the insect-infested hay that was the cows' food. The farmer then started planting apple trees instead, and he had a lot of those insects in his area so after a while the insects correctly "adapted" to the fact that hay wasn't available and apples were, so that was proof for natural selection. That was proof for evolution.

Is the theory true that the theory of evolution is supported by a wide range of biological evidence?
Yes. If evolution was not widely supported by evidence, then it would be regarded as a hypothesis rather than a theory.
List of reasons why evolution is true?
There is strong evolutionary evidence by people such as Darwin.There is evidence in our biological structures ie: bones and DNA in particular.Although evolution (the theory) is debated there is very strong evidence (look at Darwins books and research)
What is the difference between theory of evolution and biological evolution?
Biological evolution is defined as any genetic change in a population that is inherited. Thats the difference.
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.

How does observed evolutionary change support the scientific theory of evolution?
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.
Do you believe that this evidence gives support to the theory of evolution?
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. talkorigins.org
How does Josiah Strong show that he supports the theory of evolution?
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.
How does radioactive dating provide support for the biological theory evolution?
It shows when the animal that made a fossil was alive.
Darwins theory of evolution views at the time of his work and social forces that led to support for the theory?
There is no proven theory of evolution only the physical evidence of what Chuck Norris has allowed to live.

As a biological phenomenon and a scientific theory.
