Thank you Captain Obvious. Evolution has been observed in the lab. There is one long running experiment with bacteria to test aspects of evolution.. They sample and freeze the bacteria on a periodic basis. And they track how they have evolved over the decades. There is no question that it occurs. Now one can quibble with some of Darwin's ideas, as you note genetics hadn't even been discovered yet, but there is no question about whether or not organisms evolve. Rejecting evolution is sort of like rejecting gravity at this point in time. Likewise, it is indisputable that some Republicans, like pretty much the entire evangelical wing, deny that evolution happens. The Evagelicals are a significant voting bloc in the Republican party. Probably the single largest bloc of voters. Given that there are non-evangelicals in the Republican party, during the Republican debates in the runup to the 2016 election, a majority of the candidates(IIRC, all but one) indicated they reject evolution, who also reject evolution, it very well may be that a majority of Republicans reject evolution. Your handwaving not withstanding.
