Evolution is proven to occur

1.Offering a definition after having an inadequacy noticed in your original proposition is called "moving the goal posts"https://yourlogicalfallacyis.com...However, your proposed definition of "proven" does not alter the inappropriate aplication of its use as you originally stated. This inappropriate use of the term "proven" is confirmed by several credible sources in the scientific community and by proper use of the scientific method.2. Your previous evidence and logic was refuted - all of it does not qualify as being actual "proof". You are committing another logical fallacy whereas you confuse correlation with causation.https://yourlogicalfallacyis.com... 3. According to the original position "Evolution is proven to occur", it is correct to state that the validity of the theory of evolution is not the purpose of the debate - just whether or not it has been proven at this time. Common and practical scientific teachings and practice insist that "proven" is a condition which the theory of evolution cannot achieve.4.Pro has quoted - "Theories can be improved or modified as more information is gathered so that the accuracy of the prediction becomes greater over time." - what precitions are being referred to with respect to his understanding of the theory of evolution?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" - they intentionally utilize words like "valid" and conditions like "as long as there is no evidence to dispute it". These are intentional distinctions from the idea of "proven".5. There is no evidence provided by Pro that black bats are more successful at passing on their trait of being black than white bats. Furthermore, Pro has offered no evidence that the passing on of the color trait has anything to do with predators, population density, or color. Speculation, by Pro's own admission and quotation, is not tantamount to evidence or proof.6.No one has proposed that supernatural/god(s) are responsible for anything, this debate is about whether evolution has been "proven" to occur.7.Pro does not understand the term "causal explanation". 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.One merely has to access the evidence that counters the theory of evolution to agree that while the theory of evolution may have valid aspects it has not been "proven":for example - A current leading evolutionist, Jeffrey Schwartz, professor of anthropology at the University of Pittsburgh, has recently acknowledged that: ". . . it was and still is the case that, with the exception of Dobzhansky's claim about a new species of fruit fly, the formation of a new species, by any mechanism, has never been observed."(Jeffrey H. Schwartz, Sudden Origins (New York, John Wiley, 1999), p. 300) Or the "fact" that the fossil record has yet to confirm the theory of evolution - while the absence of this proof does not invalidate the theory, the theory cannot be "proven" without it.The 2nd law of Thermodynamics is contrary to the theory of evolution, yet evolution is a theory and the former is a law. This contradiction is one example of why the theory of evolution, in its current condition, is not proven.Darwin said: "To suppose that the eye with all its inimitable contrivances for adjusting the focus to different distances, for admitting different amounts of light and for the correction of spherical and chromatic aberration, could have been formed by natural selection, seems, I freely confess, absurd in the highest degree."(The Origin of Species, Charles Darwin, J.M. Dent & Sons ltd, London, 1971, page 167.)So once again, Pro has not established an argument that evolution is proven to occur. In fact, current scientific practice and common knowledge recognizes that the the theory of evolution has not been proven but has merely had evidence observed which supports its concepts in a general sense.
