“Evolution has been observed by many people over many thousands of years...”
At least you admit that evolution is in fact ancient, meaning pagan. But to say that people have observed it in action is utterly absurd since it has always been a spiritual concept, not a physical one.
Evolution refers to the movement of soul, divine spark, life, or consciousness over vast periods of time as it incarnates within many hundreds of different bodies. This concept is known today as macroevolution.
At the deepest level of all, evolutionary thinking operates as a religion that purportedly answers the Ultimate Questions. Thus it is understandable that you zealously protect and defend your nature religion, for such it is.
New traits sometimes arise in a population - and if they are favorable traits - they are subject to selection by the farmer.
This is the principle behind Darwin's scientific theory.
A scientific explanation is what Darwin is famous for - not the observation that new traits arise in a population and are favored by circumstance.
Just as Newton is not famous for observing that the planets move and that gravity operates - but for having a scientific theory that describes it.
Evolution is defined as and observed as a physical concept. There is nothing spiritual about it, nor can spirit be observed or defined by science.
Evolution as a scientific theory has everything to do with DNA and selection and nothing to do with the soul, divine spark, or consciousness.
How pitiful you are in your zealotry that the best you can come up with is to say that anybody who accepts evolution (like the Pope, for example) is a nature worshiper.
Like a blind man that can only describe things through his limited senses - you can apparently only describe or (mis)understand a scientific theory in terms of your useless theology of special creationism.
How sad for you. How useless.
