Umm no it wasn't but thanks for playing.
Really? The best scientific minds, in their times said the world was flat and that everything revolved around the earth. That was even after using the scientific method. Then some wacky guy named Copernicus had some wacky idea that this was all wrong. A later guy named Galileo picked up where Copernicus left off and took it even further. Of course he wasn't allowed to publish his findings and the authorities of the day tried to squelch him from teaching his crazy ideas (by that time, Copernicus was shown to have the right idea, but got the math wrong).
Anyway, today, we accept all of this as fact, but at the time is was considered by the scientific community as crazy. Even in modern times, we had the steady state theory of the universe versus the expanding universe we accept today. Even, at the time, the notion of the big bang was deemed crazy by the scientific community.
Science works by having a theory and testing it. It then holds as accepted until some other theory better describes the phenomenon in question. Even today, the big bang and expanding universe have problems with quantum theory that the greatest minds of the day have reconciled by saying there were different laws of physics at the creation of the universe than there are today (of course that is as provable as a deity). That will hold until somebody, in the future, comes up with a better model and furthers our understanding.
Real science isn't all neat. It can be quite messy. We build paradigms and models and even ideologies based on science and when some new scientific theory is proposed, it is almost always fraught with dissension.
So, unless you have evidence to the contrary, I stand by my statement that "...most of the science that you accept that came from what you are calling evidence based studies was once considered crazy, too." That is how science advances.
