Well I think the creationists have a lot more riding on it than the evos. If a person was of the mind that
if the TOE is true then their entire faith is wrong, they have much more riding on the truth/lack thereof than the evos do. They then jump on anything that possibly is a flaw in evolution.
Evos on the other hand have nothing to lose if evolution is indeed wrong. In fact I'd imagine there's a lot of biologists out there who'd love the fame that would come with some fantastic new discovery that brought new light to the matter. I mean just look at Einstein bringing new light to classical physics with the theories of relativity. No one cared that it meant that Newton wasn't quite right.
Because of this it is much easier for evos to research the TOE, without fear of what they'll find, and a lot less personal bias on the matter. And that brings a new slant to it, creationsts don't have the same bias correction that mainstream science has. Evos are peer reviewed.
