In such an environment, it is difficult to offer valid criticism of the theory of evolution. Anit-evolutionists immediately seize upon such criticism as reason enough to scrap the whole shebang, and the defenders of evolution, conditioned by such tactics, often reflexively dismiss such criticism as more of the same.
