Absolutely no theory in science can be proven. Evolution is no different than any other scientific theory. The theory of evolution can be subjected to experimentation and testing,

That is interesting. Would you provide an example of one of those experiments? I realize that proving that the process of evolution is hard to show due to the apparent length of the process. Has any scientist been able to recreate the "cocktail" that allowed for life to come into being in the first place and, if so, has that cocktail been tested in the lab?

Several experiments are referenced here.

The lack of proof is a fact of all scientific explanations. The mechanism for the process is well-established, however.

I do not understand what relevance your question has to the theory of evolution.

Using modern DNA sequencing technology, the genomes of simple, short-lived organisms such as bacteria may be completely read into a computer within hours. This means that we can view genetic markers moving through populations of organisims in near real time. This is the very definition of evolution: the change in allele frequences in populations of organisms over time.
