There is knowledge and there is insight and logic.

When scientists in the 19th century started measuring the speed of light they came to the startling conclusion that it did not matter in which direction the measurement was done; the speed was always the same.
As the Earth is not stationary in the universe under Newtonian physics there should be a difference. When Einstein posted his special relativity theory and the effect on perceived time and speed many physicists understood and appreciated its implications.
IF the speed of light as measured is independent on the speed of the observer (the know) THEN the special relativity theory describes the relationship of time and space, and Newtonian physics do not (the insight).

Same with evolution. What Darwin explained is what people who breed animals already put in practice. Of course selection also happens in nature. If only the Bible agreed...

For confirmation go to people just like you.
For education go to people unlike yourself.
