What significant scientific theory has 'proof'. What is the proof of creationism, religion, the supernatural?
Every aspect of chemistry including the explanation for the passing on of traits via DNA.
Since your knee-jerk response is to try to change the subject, the fact that you can't come up with as single proof of the theory is, in effect, agreement that I have skewered you again.
Excellent.
Got an example of a chemistry proof aside from alcohol? There is plenty we don't know about quarks, atoms, molecules, and the various forces of nature. I'd venture to say we have lots of evidence but no proof.
DNA is hardly a good example since we are still trying to understand the complex interactions of genes. There are plenty of diseases that appear genetic but we've been unable to isolate the actual genes responsible. Proven? Not a chance.
Nice try.
Obviously one of us has taken organic chemistry and the other is you.
We're gonna stick to Darwin and Marx.
Darwin wrote in his
Origin,
"Consequently if this theory be true (evolution) it is indisputable that before the lowest Cambrian stratum was deposited, long periods elapsed, as long as, or probably far longer than, the whole interval from the Cambrian age to the present day; and that during these vast periods the world swarmed with living creatures."
Darwin stated here that if his theory were true
there should have been multiplied billions of living creatures evolving who lived then for millions of years before the Cambrian era on the earth. What evidence did Darwin provide for any of this?
He continued:
"To the question why
we do not find rich fossiliferous deposits belonging to these assumed earliest periods prior to the Cambrian system I can give no satisfactory answer . . . Nevertheless, the difficulty of assigning any good reason for the absence of vast piles of strata rich in fossils beneath the Cambrian system is very great
."

On the Imperfection of the Geologic Record: On the Sudden Appearance of Groups of Allied Species in the lowest known Fossiliferous Strata.pp. 164

Darwin’s Theory of Gradual Evolution Not Supported by Geological History, NYU Scientist Concludes
a. Darwin himself commented on the importance of such links:
“The several difficulties here discussed, namely our not finding in the successive formations infinitely numerous transitional links between the many species which now exist or have existed; the sudden manner in which whole groups of species appear in our European formations; the almost entire absence, as at present known, of fossiliferous formations beneath the Silurian strata, are all undoubtedly of the gravest nature.”
b. In fact, the fossil record does not demonstrate a sequence of transitional fossils
for any species. As
Newsweek reporter Jerry Adler accurately noted:
"In the fossil record, missing links are the rule: the story of life is as disjointed as a silent newsreel, in which species succeed one another as
abruptly as Balkan prime ministers.
The more scientists have searched for the transitional forms between species, the more they have been frustrated....
Evidence from fossils now points overwhelmingly away from the classical Darwinism which most Americans learned in high school: that new species evolve out of existing ones by the gradual accumulation of small changes, each of which helps the organism survive and compete in the environment." (Newsweek, 1980, 96[18]:95).
