Evolution is proven to occur

Rebutals: Fake Fallacies 1. My opponent fails to understand what moving the goalpost is. I have in no way/shape/form changed the debate topic by providing the defintion of proven. 2. The other fallacy my opponent stated is false, as by the definition of proven. 3. I'm dissapointed that my opponent has showed severe desperation to try to make my claims appear uncredible, however expect him to continue this desperation. Yes, it has been proven and my evidence indeed ties in well with this debate 4. This is self-explanatory, my evidence and reasoning was definetely valid and my macroevolution/microevolution statements faced little to no opposition from my very opponent 5. My opponent has said: " While i appreciate Pro's efforts to distinguish between scientific theory and method, none of Pro's citations explicitly consider a theory to be "proven" " Yes, a theory isn't automatically proven however it can be proven by holding massive amounts of evidence, especially if their is little or no evidence that opposes it. (Examples: Evolution shown in round 2, Gravity, Big Bang[1]) 6. My opponent has said: "Pro has offered no evidence that the passing on of the color trait has anything to do with predators, population density, or color." Yes, I clearly said it's just an example then listed a source that explained some real world examples. The basis is simple, certain traits determine if an individual can survive until the point in which the individual passes down his genes to the next generation. The is the basis of microevolution, the passing of a color may decide whether or not an animal is visible to predators or even more sexually desirable to the opposite gender. [2] Remember in addition an individual doesn't have to evolve specifically to increase the odds of survival until you reproduce possibly like the chameleon (this is still in debate), they may evolve to assure they can reproduce. This is because even if you sucsessfully survive, when no genes are passed down no following generation can occur which evolution requires change by generations. [3] 7. My opponent has said: "No one has proposed that supernatural/god(s) are responsible for anything, this debate is about whether evolution has been "proven" to occur." Indeed, I was simply clarifying that it has literally no evidence/proof, meanwhile the evidence/proof for evolution is vast. 8. My opponent has said: "While there is evidence that has been observed which supports the theory of evolution, there has not yet been any "causal explanation" discovered for evolution" This statement made by my opponent is definetely incorrect, as we have evidence provided by fossil records. Straigth from berkeley [4] "The fossil record provides snapshots of the past that, when assembled, illustrate a panorama of evolutionary change over the past four billion years." Their are age old arguments stating that their are too many gaps in fossil records, however fossils have been uncovered, dated, studied, and closed the gap[9] in the infamous "Fossil Fallacy"[7] more and more as time has passed. Nowadays that arguement is out of date. Here are multiple additional sources (the hard part was only chosing a few sources out of literal dozens.)
