"Critical analysis" is no such thing
No Critical Analysis of Evolution?
Forgive me but I have been impressed with the understanding that any true scientific study/research/endeavor should always be subject to critical analysis.
He's not referring the the general idea of critical analysis; rather he's referring to a particular document titled "Critical Analysis of Evolution — Grade 10" and intended for use in Ohio science classes. You can see it for yourself at http://www.ode.state.oh.us/academic_content_standards/...

Many scientists have severely criticised this document, especially some of the suggested references (e.g. Denton's "Evolution: A theory In Crisis" which even Denton doesn't believe any more) (note that a lot of the more controversial references have been removed in the curent version) and Attachment A, "Five Aspects of Evolution", which has been watered down a lot from the original version but still owes a lot to Wells' "Icons of Evolution" and the Discovery Institute's propaganda.
