Silencing criticism with anything except evidence is contrary to science.
The evidence leads where it leads.
Clapping your hand over the mouths of a contrary opinion gives the appearance of weak evidence.

Science has already examined and rejected many "contrary opinions."
The evidence leads where it leads, and alchemy, astrology, phrenology, phlogiston chemistry, and many other "contrary opinions," have already been examined and rejected by science. Creation "science," is one of these.
Changing the name from creation "science" to ID does not change the fact that both are religion in the guise of science.
You are worried about "Silencing criticism with anything except evidence is contrary to science." Where is the evidence? What has changed in creation "science" in the past few decades, other than the name?
If there is new evidence, it certainly would be examined by science. But so far, the ID movement is being pushed largely by the Dyscovery Institute, following the plan laid out in the Wedge Strategy, to destroy science as it is currently practiced and replace it with a "theistic" science.
"Theistic" science? Sure sounds like religion in disguise to me.
