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.

'what is the assumptions of economics by Alfred marshall'?

Alfred marshall made a heroic assumption of 'cetris paribus' which means other things being equal/constant in economics. This assumption he used for the theories he put forth viz. theory of demand,theory of supply,theory of diminishing marginal utility,etc. Most of his theories come under the sub field- micro economics. The assumption of cetris paribus is the main, there are many others for each law besides cetris paribus.


What is a theory in physics?

A theory is something that has been tested over time and the data constantly supports it. Examples are the theory of relativity or the theory of evolution. This is way different from the conventional usage, which is just something somebody things. I hate it when people use it that way! Note: A theory is never proven. Nothing in science is proven, but a theory is as close as you can get. The data can only support the facts.


Is the evolutionary theory bankrupt?

Absolutely not. The Theory of Evolution is the accepted scientific theory of how living things evolved on this planet. If you're looking for a "bankrupt" theory a serious contender would be the unscientific theory of Creationism. It has absolutely no scientific currency to support it. However, as Ayn Rand said so eloquently: Those who deny reason cannot be conquered by it.


What was his theory of evolution?

The theory of evolution is that all living things come from other living things.
