The term 'evolution' can refer to more than one thing.

Evolution is the word used to refer to the observed changing of allele frequencies in populations of organisms, and more generally to the observed fact that life changes over time. This is a fact, and is therefore "100% true".

Evolution is also the word used to refer to the scientific model that explains observations in Biology and palaeontology in terms of what we know about the facts of evolution. Scientific theories cannot technically be said to be "100% true", but the basic hypotheses of evolutionary theory are so overwhelmingly supported by the available evidence that one might as well accept them as factual.

Is there or will there be yet to be found evidence to convince the creationist about evolution?

They have the evidence yet they will never be convinced while under the influence of a ideology that lies to them. To them evolution is not only false it is evil and their view of evolution is so skewed by this ideological nonsense that there is little hope for this generation of creationists, though we may save some of their children. Most religions made peace with evolution a long time ago, but creationists, being literalistic, must have every word of the bible be true as if one thing is not true then all is not true. Dichotomous thinking such as this is the mark if the unintelligent and uneducated.


Is it true that random mating leads to micro-evolution?

Yes, random mating can contribute to micro-evolution by altering allele frequencies within a population over time. It introduces genetic variation, which can drive evolution through mechanisms like genetic drift and gene flow.


Which must be in place within a population in order for the theory of evolution to hold true?

In order for the theory of evolution to hold true within a population, there must be genetic variation among individuals, a mechanism for inheritance of traits from parents to offspring, and differential survival and reproduction based on these inherited traits. These conditions allow for natural selection to occur, driving the process of evolution within a population over time.
