Isn't the "revolutionary paradigm shift" Kuhn's theory? I admit it's the one creationists seem to cling to a lot. Johnson loves it, for one. However, I wouldn't go TOO far in proclaiming ToE invulnerable. In the first place, that plays into the creationists' hands too much, IMO. Consider the oft-heard refrain, "Evolution isn't science because it's not falsifiable." I dunno, comes across somewhat dogmatic the way you phrased it (not that I disagree with your conclusion, mind).
