Could you include a sentence or two describing what "front loading evo theories" are?
​
Also, if by NeoDarwinism you're referring to the modern synthesis of Darwinian evolution with genetics, and if you believe that "front loading evo theories" are not part of the modern synthesis, then you need to explain that a little, since it seems unlikely that scientists like William Loomis do not accept the modern synthesis. That there are signficant schools of evolutionary thought that reject the modern synthesis would actually be a more significant issue than "front loading".
​
Please post a note when the edits are complete and I'll take another look.

I think the phrase you really want is "front loading ID theories about evolution." Since "evo" is normally a reference to traditional evolution or its supporters, the phrase "front loading evo theories" implies that there's some facet of evolutionary thought within mainstream circles that accepts "front loading."
​
What I'm trying to avoid is your thread bogging down in accusations that you're misrepresenting the scientific views about evolution within biology.

I did further modifications to the 1st para, see if they're okay with you. Your original 1st para is still there, just hidden.
