In science, there is no question at all regarding the theory of evolution.

You mean that all scientists without question accept that the larger changes that have occurred since we were single celled animals can be explained by mutation and natural selection? Even Gould was at least troubled by the lack of transitionals (even though he bought off on the overall theory) and that is why he brought up punctuated equilibrium as a possible explanation. And being a possible explanation does not eliminate all possible doubt.

If there is noone even questioning parts of the theory, that is kind of scary.

The old 'over generalization fallacy'. Good choice.
