NO. Neither 'the chilldruun' nor many FReepers are capable of critically evaluating evolution/creation. One requires a particular statement of faith and the other an incompatible and contrary statement of faith. It's like (analogous to) a photon as wave and particle, it is both/neither but which depends on the experimental observation. Or the holy triune. My tagline applies as well to FReepers as progressives.

Democracy is the rule of fools by fools. American suffers from cacocracy.

I can agree with half of your statement. I've seen easily a dozen statements of faith from creationist/antievolution organizations (which typically include scientific points as well as theological ones). I recently posted one here. The Institute for Creation Research even requires that its staff resign their statement annually!

But I've never seen or heard of a mandatory affirmation of faith (or scientific views) associated with a mainstream science/evolutionist organization. Maybe you can help with that part?
