If so, can you post a link - unless things have changed since I was in Uni, its still only a theory and cant 100% be proved.

Species adapting to changing situations and weeding out the weak and promoting the strong can be proved.
Gravity is only a theory, germ theory is only a theory, quantum theory is only a theory.

Evolution is a fact (it's observed, just like gravity), the theory of evolution attempts to explain how it happens (natural selection, mutations, horizontal gene transfer, etc etc).

Descent of all life from a common ancestor is about as supported as it gets in terms of scientific theories.

As troutman said, all knowledge in science is provisional, so yes a better theory could come along at any time.
