Is this statement true of reality? While the demarcation of science is a difficult philosophical subject, I feel safe in saying, that the above is not science!

So what you get are scientists putting forward positions that would not be true if their hypothesis was wrong and check for that. Creationists take the exact opposite view, discarding anything that does not help their faith (I wont dignify it with hypothesis because it is too ill defined to qualify as one). They are the ultimate in the use of confirmation bias and outright lies.
Some do, and some do not. the same can be said for some in regards to evolution. And again I don't believe you opinion here is science, so according to your above statement it is not true of reality.
