Cameron,
you say:
There is no reason that Darwinian theory must be doggedly
maintained *merely* because it is the only overarching historical theory
that biology has.
It isn't. Other overarching frameworks have come and gone. Evolutionary theory (not "Darwinism" - we've moved on well past Darwin's day) is maintained because the evidence for it is so strong and it has not yet been falsified through experimentation. Evidence from various scientific fields that do not depend on one another support it strongly- this is the "consilience" I was speaking of before. Even YECs credentialed in the biological and paleontological sciences agree, though they cannot accept the conclusions that follow.
