How has the science of geology changed?
The science of geology has changed because scientists now realize that not all geologic changes are uniformitarianism, and that catastrophism exists.
What type of data do scientists study to help them learn about the layers of the Earth?
Geology
What type of scientists that do the study of rocks are called?
The study of rocks is called Petrology, and the scientists that study them are called petrologists. Petrology is a sub branch of geology.

What types of evidence can fossils provide about earth's history?
Fossils provide one body of evidence for evolution and an accurate theory of our phylogeny back to every living organism's common ancestor (because we are all related and so must have come from the same ancestor). By performing radiometric dating of the surrounding geology where the fossil was found. There are several radiometric clocks that can be used and as many as are possible are used to get an accurate and confirmed age. This allows evolutionary scientists to better understand how we and all other living things have evolved, and allows for comparison with the other bodies of evolutionary evidence (such as genetic clocks and taxonomy). That we evolved is a fact, the only question evolutionary scientists are asking now is "How?" And we're getting closer to the truth every day. A better explanation can be found on YouTube - search for DonExodusII.

What is william smith's theory in geology?
William Smith's theory in geology is known as the Principle of Faunal Succession. He proposed that fossils found in rocks can be used to determine the relative age of the rocks. This theory formed the basis for stratigraphy, the study of rock layers and their sequence of formation, and greatly contributed to the development of the geologic time scale.
