Good facts AGA!

 Neither of you can handle the fact that Doctor Who has evolved
over the years and things change. Doctor Who will never be the
TV show it was in 1976 regardless of how much spitting of
dummies out of the pram happens. Life changes, people change,
the Doctor changes... that is the real fact here.

Doctor Who ended in 2017. Up to 2017 the Doctor was the same character he was in 1963.
In literature following the principles of good writing character's origin stories do not change and must never change. Superman was born on Krypton to Dur-El and sent to Earth in order to save his life when the planet exploded. He was then found and adopted by Jonathan and Martha Kent and because of how they brought him up used his powers to help others. He was not created to be a monster by being experimented on, tortured, and murdered as a child in order to bring about the end of civilisation. That character is Doomsday not Superman. The Doctor is the Doctor not the Timeless Child.
