And fervid believers in evolution cannot handle the tiniest bit of criticism,

If you believe that, you clearly haven't read the Journal of Evolutionary Biology or the Journal of Classification, or Cladistics, or the Journal of Theoretical Biology, or Molecular and General Genetics or any of a couple dozen other scientific journals in, say, the past 150 years. They're filled with controversies and fights and criticisms of individual theories. Please, join the fights! But what you cannot criticize is the scientific method, and that's what the creationists and ID-proponents are doing.

They can criticize it all they want, but it's stupid to do so in a science class. They're pretending that's not what they're doing, but it is. Have fun going after the scientific method in philosophy.
