Law and math prove things. Science supports tentative ( more or less ) explanations of natural phenomenon with evidence. The evidence overwhelmingly supports evolutionary theory. PS Evolution itself is a observed and observable fact.
Yes, because if enough people prove the hypothesis and produce evidence supporting it it can become a theory.
In science, a hypothesis and a theory differs in that a hypothesis is a conjecture based on empirical observation or theoretical derivation yet unproven or by any experimental work, and that a theory is a hypothesis that has been rigorously tested by many researchers and supported by strong evidence. Evolution is a theory that has been repeatedly tested, supported by overwhelming evidence, and can be used to explain natural phenomenon very well.
No, of course not. Evidence does not prove evolution - it validates the theory.Evidence which Darwin had included limited fossils, and observed apparent speciation in birds.
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.

when there is enough evidence to prove it
A. It is no longer Darwin's theory as the theory of evolution by natural selection has been modified and added to since Darwin's day. Still, Darwin would recognize the theory as it stands today. B. Science does not " prove " things as that is a mathematical concept. Science supports it's theories with overwhelming amounts of converging evidence. That said, the theory of evolution by natural selection has been upheld scientifically for over 150 years and had withstood many tests and challenges. The theory of evolution by natural selection ios the bedrock upon which modern biology is built.
You can't. Technically it is a theory of origins (where stuff came from) and that is beyond the realm of science. We may see evidence that it could have happened, but without observing it first hand, it can't go beyond "theory"
Indirect evidence refers to information that requires some form of inference or interpretation to establish a connection to a particular fact or conclusion. It does not directly prove a point but rather provides clues or support for a theory or argument. Examples include circumstantial evidence or expert opinions.
he didn't have anything to prove
In science, a theory is a well-substantiated explanation based on evidence and testing. The ideas about evolution are called theories because they have been extensively researched, tested, and supported by a wide range of scientific evidence from various fields such as genetics, paleontology, and comparative anatomy. Evolutionary theory is considered one of the most robust and well-supported theories in biology.
To disprove evolution, one would need to provide scientifically-backed evidence that cannot be explained by evolutionary theory, such as finding a fossil in a rock layer that it should not be in based on the geological timescale, or demonstrating a complex biological structure that could not have evolved through gradual processes. However, the overwhelming evidence from multiple scientific fields strongly supports the theory of evolution.
