In general no theory can be proved.

However any new theory can only improve upon the old theory that is why even the old theories can survive.(e.g Newton's theory)

Evolution is a theory based on facts, same as all science ideas. The laws of our theories are universal laws, or at least our best understanding of them, and any laws we make to govern ourselves are supposed to be based on the understanding of universal laws. At least that is what democracy is about, and this it makes very important to use science to understand humans, and then reason through the best laws to regulate large groups of humans.
The original meaning of "moral" was to know the law and good manners. That is to know universal laws, which some considered God laws. I stress this is about science, not religion. That is what makes democracy different from a theocracy, basing laws on nature's laws, not what is writtng in holy books.
