It doesn't. Evolution is explained by population genetics, evolutionary theory.

It is generally thought to support the Theory of Evolution.
The lines of evidence that support the theory of evolution include fossil records, comparative anatomy, molecular biology, and biogeography. Fossil records show a progression of life forms over time, while comparative anatomy reveals similarities in structures among different species. Molecular biology demonstrates common genetic sequences among organisms, and biogeography examines the distribution of species around the world, all of which provide evidence for the common ancestry and gradual change of species over time outlined in the theory of evolution.
Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection has been widely accepted in the scientific community and has provided a robust framework for understanding the diversity of life on Earth. Over time, new evidence in genetics, paleontology, and comparative anatomy has continued to support and refine the principles of evolutionary theory.
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.
DNA is used as evidence to support the theory of evolution by comparing the genetic similarities and differences between different species. By analyzing the DNA sequences of organisms, scientists can trace evolutionary relationships and determine how species have evolved over time. This genetic evidence provides strong support for the idea that all living things are related and have evolved from a common ancestor.
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
In every way.
Yes. If evolution was not widely supported by evidence, then it would be regarded as a hypothesis rather than a theory.
Fossil records, comparative anatomy, molecular biology, and biogeography are all forms of scientific evidence that support the theory of evolution by showing how species have changed and diversified over time.
The better question would be; what biological sciences DO NOT support Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection. Evolution is the backbone of biology and the theory that explains much about evolution is the bedrock on which all biology is built, regardless of the apparent absence in some disciplines of biology. It is no longer just Darwin's theory as many disciplines not formed then, and some extant then, have added to and refined the theory. Genetics Molecular cell biology. Evolutionary developmental biology. Biochemistry. Geology. Paleontology. Population generics. Botany. Evolutionary biology. And the list can go on. Google, disciplines in biology, wiki.
