If Dawkins were massively wrong then there'd be plenty of scientists shouting him down

There certainly are many civil, reputable scientists who don't resort to shouting that disagree.

"shouting him down" was a metaphor. The number of scientists who disagree with evolution is a tiny fraction of the scientists in the world. The number of practicing biologists who disagree with the theory of evolution is a fraction of the tiny fraction. Kooks can be found to support any nonsense; 99% consensus rather than 100% consensus hardly indicates weakness of biology's unifying theory.
