But the neo-Darwinian advocates claim to be scientists, and we can legitimately expect of them a more open spirit of inquiry.
Instead, they assume a defensive posture of outraged orthodoxy and assert an unassailable claim to truth,
--- which only serves to validate the Creationists' criticism that Darwinism has become more of a faith than a science.

For these particular scientists described in this article, yes absolutely.
It is heartening to understand that they had recognized something quite profound.
But his "accusation" was aimed at those mentioned at the beginning of his article, Dennett and Dawkins.

No, it was aimed at Darwinian scientists, as both you & he clearly wrote, just above.
Do you really think you can fool all people all the time, andy?
Why do you find it hard to admit even obvious, but petty errors of logic, like those above? - Could it be that your dogmatic positions lead you to overzealously shade the truth?

Are not Dennett and Dawkins Darwinian scientists?
