No. It is a theory, so it can only be 'weighted' for probablilty.
Consider that 'evolution' covers a whole set of theories into a gobble of concepts that loosely is quoted to advocate that we and every other creature on this Earth looked different some time ago. Hey, I can demonstrate that physical changes to populations can be affected by nutrition. There were humans in the past who were taller than some alive today, and others much smaller.
There were times in the past when other, similar species were existing next to humans. There are species who are forever lost, and more leaving the Earth permanently each year.
On the other hand, I have published a statistical proof (a logical proof) which blows the traditional "tidal pool" model right out of the water (I love that pun!). In my mind, the 'tidal pool' theory of evolution is worthless, and worse, it masks what is important to see.
So, if your viewpont of evolution is based on the tidal pool theory, then you may be completely lost.
But to say I have disproved the tidal pool theory is not correct. I have only offered a far better model.

All the evidence in science has so far supported the theory of evolution. That is all you can say about it.
It can never be proved absolutely. I suppose if someone could create an animal out of thin air, then this would prove that the theory does not hold in all circumstances, but that is it.
Some creationists believe that evolution is not true. But then, as any scientist will tell you, belief is not proof.

of course! that's what science is all about.
(we look at theories very critically, all the time. if one doesn't pass muster, it has to be discarded or altered... so far, evolution has stood up for over a hundred years to scrutiny that would make a US Senator narrow his stance)

Too big a question. But the answer is no. All creationists could do is asking questions, because they never have an answer that can be tested.

How? It's already been proven....various fossils, bones, carbon dating, etc. how can you "un-prove" that?!?!?!?!?!?!
