One that can be tested again and again by different people at different times and the results are always the same.
For proving the theory.
If all the evidence taken into consideration can be explained by the scientific model proposed and the model successfully predicts outcomes of experiments yet to be performed, it is a "good scientific theory" It still can be incorrect. If it is proven incorrect it should be abandoned.
a theorem rather, it has to be proven to become an accepted theory.
A scientific theory is an explanation of some natural phenomenon. A scientific law is a succinct statement of some aspect of a scientific theory.
That would depend on the scientific theory in question.

No. It means that it was the best theory supported at the time it was formulated. Theories can change if new scientific evidence provides new information.

I accept the modern theory of evolution by natural selection. You can not just on a whim put forth a scientific theory. I suggest you access a good dictionary. The scientific meaning of " theory " is generally the primary meaning.

No scientific theory ever challenged the theory of evolution.
Between Scientific Theory and what?
Scientific observations and experimental results are required for a theory to be scientific.
