Evolution cannot give proof because it is not a science. see post 204

1) You're using 'proof' in a nonstandard way; the atom bomb is not a proof of nuclear physics in the same sense that Pythagoras proved his theorem.

2) The fact of identical point mutations found in people and chimps constitutes a true prediction made by evolution science. What are the predictions made by the other theories and how have they stood up to tests?

No, I am not. You are selectively restricting the meaning of proof to fit your purposes. You can prove that a person is guilty of murder without producing a Pythagorean theorem of what happened. See also my post to Donh in 392.

As to your statement about "identical point mutations", it is false. One of the problems they had when doing the genome project for humans was that the genome of each human being (let alone of different species) is different. Accordingly, they had to take samples from quite a few individuals and compare them, in order to "map" it. Even then, they missed many genes, and the results of the two different companies doing them were not in accord with each other.

If that were not enough, the genes for the same capabilities in different species are different. For that reason for example, the blood of different species, even though it performs the same function in all of them, cannot be used for other species. This shows that all these genes are indeed different and claims that there are "identical" point mutations are totally false.
