"By the church, correct?! To support religious doctrine, the church and true believers attacked the scientists talking about observed fact."
What 'observed fact' is that and what is the observation that proves it?
Well, certainly you already know what I'm going to say . . . but if you want to have this debate for the 43,304th time, we certainly can.
Let me try the most basic point: it is observed fact that a bunch of small changes equals a big change. I assume you agree that so-called 'micro-evolution' happens.
So doesn't a large number of small, micro-changes equal a big change?
