Anyone with even the slightest familiarity with the decades of extremely diligent and detailed work Charles Darwin did to formally flesh out and elucidate the underpinnings of the theory knows the answer to this question.

Darwin was incredibly thorough.
He died with Gregor Mendel’s paper on genetics, which Mendel sent Darwin, unopened.
“I wouldn’t expect much in the way of reasoned argument, nor openness to the fruits of actual observation.”
Yeah, the God-fearing being all unscientific and stupid and backwards and all...
I believe all Wisdom begins with fear of God and yet I don’t have the slightest problem with a theory of evolution that is demonstrated.
So far it assumes things it can’t show, if that changes, wonderful.
