No, scientists do NOT say that evolution has been proved, because science as a method is not capable of proof.

Science 3 a: knowledge or a system of knowledge covering general truths or operations of general laws. Esp. as obtained and tested through "scientific method"

Then the theory is a theory and should be taught as such, and that other options should be suggested to answer the questions that arise in minds that should be taught critical thinking, not social thinking of I say it is true there for do not question it or else we will brandish you with the label of crazy.

No one who believes in Jesus has ever been hindered in the world and have made many of the great discoveries.

It is taught as a theory. Evolution is also a fact. The theory explains how evolution happens. But it can never be proved, as nothing is in science.

"and that other options should be suggested to answer the questions that arise in minds that should be taught critical thinking, not social thinking of I say it is true there for do not question it or else we will brandish you with the label of crazy."

Other options are fine as long as they are scientific (testable) options. ID/creationism doesn't fit the bill.

"No one who believes in Jesus has ever been hindered in the world and have made many of the great discoveries."

And most people who accept evolution in the USA are Christians.
