If the ToE was falsified a new theory would emerge that excludes the parts that had been falsified and that incorporates the new observations. The new theory would be rigorously tested to see if it explains the evidence and can make valid predictions. Those who oppose the ToE would not gain credibility because they still have not constructed a theory that offers a better explaination of the evidence.
Those who argue against evolution are not interested understanding the world around us. They simply want us to stop talking about evolution. They intentionally misunderstand and mis-state what the theory of evolution means and then claim they have proof that their version of the ToE is wrong. Well, they are right, their fantasy ToE is incorrect.
Scientists want to understand everything about our world. It is our passion, what drives us, the thirst for knowledge about how everything works and why it works that way. We try every way we can think of to be sure that our explainations of our observations are correct. We share them with other scientists to see if they come to the same conclusions. We designed a standardized way to study our subject (the scentific method) and report our observations (peer reviewed reports) to help keep us from making mistakes. If we were not interested in finding the truth we would not have become scientists in the first place.
In my field of entomology one of the major tools I use to understand my observations and the results of my research is various aspects of the theory of evolution. No other set of principles can make sense of the data because the ToE incorporates so many other disiplines; paleontology, genetics, biogeography, physiology, etc. YEC and ID provide no tools for working biologists to use in our research.
Most of the time scientists do not really care about the creationists, they can believe whatever they want. When they lie about holes or flaws in the the theory of evolution and want to introduce those lies in school science classes under the guise of balanced treatment that is a different matter. We have to insist that students are taught about "real world science" and our current understanding of the world, not "faith based science". This has nothing to do with a political or phylosophical agenda, it is about the truth.
