Yes, and no. Yes, back then it was the most accurate possible assessment of the data available at the time. But evolutionary theory today is much different from the model that Darwin first proposed. For one thing, evolutionary theory now includes modern knowledge of genetics. For another, we no longer believe, like Darwin did, that evolution is uniformly gradual.
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)
Darwin's theory of evolution is very well supported by scientific evidence. It has been accepted as true, by most biologists. Some controversy does remain, however, on religious grounds. Whether you choose to accept this theory is up to you.
Charles Darwin spent several decades formulating and confirming his Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection, and did not publish it until he was quite certain about every detail. Of course, he is no longer alive, but he died convinced of the reliability of the Theory.
We don't use the word "true" to describe scientific theories. They either fit the facts or they do not. Darwin's theory of evolution fits most of the observed facts, and does so beautifully. A theory is useful if it makes successful predictions. Darwin's theory has absolutely zero to do with belief in God. The Catholic Church does not hate God, yet endorses the view that evolution has occurred in much the way Charles Darwin described. Is there a scientific theory that better explains the evidence from paleontology, geology, anatomy, and molecular biology? No. Therefore, we provisionally accept the theory of evolution as an accurate depiction of the origin of species. Again, this has nothing to do with whether or not God exists and/or loves you. Evolution is wrong. God is true.
Yes. If evolution was not widely supported by evidence, then it would be regarded as a hypothesis rather than a theory.

Perfectly true. He was a botanist not an inventor. He, with Russell, set forward a theory of why evolution occurs.Evolution is an accepted fact how and why it occurs is subject to theory.
True

Since it was still a theory, there are still no comcrete facts that it is true.

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.
Yes. If evolution was not widely supported by evidence, then it would be regarded as a hypothesis rather than a theory.

When the evolutionary theory was first proposed, people didn't believe it. Often, religion and evolution contradict themselves and even today, there are many people who favor creationism over evolution.
2009 is important for Darwin's theory of Evolution as that is the 150th anniversary of the publication of On the Origin of Species the famous book by Charles Robert Darwin himself. To celebrate this occasion, Richard Dawkins published The Greatest Show on Earth, Jerry A. Coyne wrote Why Evolution is True and Sir David Frederick Attenborough presented Charles Darwin and the Tree of Life, a charming television documentary.
