Such claims have been made even before Darwin (theory of evolution actually didn't start with Darwin) and today it is nowhere near a a theory in crisis. Soon after Darwin published his work almost 100% of relevant scientists were creationists, right now less than 1% are.
Of the scientists and engineers in the United States, only about 5% are creationists, according to a 1991 Gallup poll. This number includes those working in fields not related to life origins (such as computer scientists, mechanical engineers, etc.). Taking into account only those working in the relevant fields of earth and life sciences, there are about 480,000 scientists, but only about 700 believe in "creation-science" or consider it a valid theory. This means that less than 0.15 percent of relevant scientists believe in creationism. And that is just in the United States, which has more creationists than any other industrialized country. In other countries, the number of relevant scientists who accept creationism drops to less than one tenth of 1 percent.
A panel of seventy-two Nobel Laureates, seventeen state academies of science, and seven other scientific organizations created an amicus curiae brief which they submitted to the Supreme Court (Edwards v. Aguillard 1986). This report clarified what makes science different from religion and why creationism is not science.

far from the evolutionary defeatism you suggest, isn't it?
