Science has no capacity to completely prove something... However these are some facts that make it likely to be true.
- An extensive fossil record which completely conforms to predictions.
- Observing evolution in action (such as the flu virus changing ever year, the HIV virus changing all the time, speciation in plants and animals in non-lab environments, lab experiments etc).
- Paternity testing (the techniques used in paternity testing are also used to demonstrate how closely related different species are).
- DNA (all organisms use the exact same code for proteins)
- similarities in phylogeny (why do we share so many features with other organisms?)
- similarities in DNA conform to the predictions made by evolution

To begin with, a theory can not prove or disprove anything until it is proven itself.
What principles is not part of Darwin's original theory of evolution by natural selection?
Random processes are not part of the theory of evolution by natural selection.
What was Charles Darwin's contribution to science?

Is natural selection a cause of evolution?

What is the relationship between evolution and natural selection?
Natural selection is one force that can lead to evolution.natural selection is one cause of evolution
Which type of natural selection prevents evolution?
Natural selection directs evolution; it cannot stop or prevent it.
How are evolution and natural selection related?
Natural selection is one of the mechanisms that shapes adaptation and enables evolution.
Is evolution a natural selection?
Natural selection explains the process of evolution: evolution by natural selection. It basically means that species with the highest fitness (survival rate) will live, and be selected by nature for the characteristics they possess that make them more apt to survive. Because of natural selection, evolution occurs.
