Guess you didn't read what I wrote before PIX. The definition of a theory implies that there is NO PROOF, they are THEORIES that through observation and documentation (as Wha pointed out) seem to be the best explanations. And science works to DISPROVE facts, not to prove that something happens. And the fact is, nothing has disproven evolution, and to those who study it it seems to be the best explanation for how things work in that sense. You are a bad scientist if you say evolution is absolutely true, no way will it ever be disproven, and religion is straight up wrong. It's taught in schools because people have the right to learn science. Science evolves too, and as it does, we'll teach the newest and best theories. Kinda like how people are taught that the Earth isn't the center of the universe. If we hold back science because religion says otherwise, things will progress more slowly. If we held back the ideas of the past centuries and decades, you might not have the computer and internet you are debating this very issue on.
