They did not know about DNA, RNA, enzymes and all that in Darwin's day. Darwin came up with the theory of evolution when his ship stopped at the very remote Galapagos Islands and saw species he or anyone else had never seen. He concluded that life had evolved over a long period of time to survive in that location. This was at the time when the creation theory was widely accepted and taught by the church. To suggest anything else was heresy. I always ask these creationist's what day did God make all the fossils?
