Does evidence prove or disprove evolution?
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.
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.

Can a hypothesis lead to a theory.?
Yes, because if enough people prove the hypothesis and produce evidence supporting it it can become a theory.
Why is evolution considered a theory and not a hypothesis or a law?
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.
What do scientists use fossil evidence to prove?
Evolution
Did Charles Darwin have evidence to prove evolution?
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.
When are you a suspect?
when there is enough evidence to prove it
What are the four area of study that help to explain or prove the theory of evolution?
The four sources of supporting evidence for the theory of evolution are fossils, the development of life forms, changes over life forms over the years and the way in which related species are distributed across the world.
How can you prove evolution true?
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"
What were the four types of evidence Wegener showed to prove his theory?
?
Why are the ideas about evolution called theories?
Because although there is evidence to support the claims, it isn't possible to prove evolution indefinately.
What is statistical evidence?
Statistical evidence refers to data or information that has been analyzed and interpreted using statistical methods to support or challenge a hypothesis or claim. It helps quantify uncertainty and provides insights into the likelihood of an event occurring, making it a valuable tool in decision-making and research.
