Every day more and more evidence is being accumulated about the facts of evolution and its basis in genetics. Evolution is simply a numerical rate-- the change in the frequency of alleles (i.e., genes) in a population.

The numerical proof of genetics and allele frequency for macroevolution came later.

The logical conclusion from all this is that all life shares a common history-- a descent from a common ancestor.

They continued to make the same claim (microevolution yes; macroevolution no) even when it could be clearly demonstrated what scientists studying evolution are really dealing with.

And of course these are the same people fighting to bring creationism into the science classroom,

often using stealth tactics such as stacking school boards, instead of demonstrating any scientific basis for their beliefs,

As the Pope said: "Evolution is more than a hypothesis".
