But if evolution were falsified the results to the establishment would be unthinkable.
I guess you're right -- I'm having trouble thinking of them, anyway. What would happen? The (really quite small) number of people who study evolution for a living would study something else, and the person who did the falsification would become an overnight celebrity. What exactly was it that you had in mind?

So they keep repairing their littel ideological ship till a better one comes along that doesn't have intelligent design written on it.
Why would we care whether the theory involves intelligent design or not? I use evolution because it works, not for any other reason. Until someone offers another theory that works at least as well, I'm going to keep on using it, too.
