It was toppled in 1859. Scientific scrutiny rendered a verdict long ago.

Perhaps. Then again, the geocentric universe model was "scientific fact" at one point too. Scientific facts must be able to withstand continuous scrutiny and fend of all serious challenges. The fact that the ToE advocates have chosen to launch ad hominem attacks on their critics, use the justice system to squash challenges, and label ANYONE who dares challenge the fundamental weaknesses of Darwinism a "fundamentalist Christian young earth creationist", tells me that they do, in fact, have something to fear.

Your argument is self-referential, since you are making an ad-hominum attack on the critics of ID without saying what the weaknesses of evolution are, or how you would know they are weakness unless mainstream scientists openly discussed them.

ID fails not because it is wrong, but because it contributes nothing to the sum of knowledge. It does no research, proposes no research, suggests no lines of possible research, uses none of the money contributed for the promotion of ID to fund research.
