The theories and hypothesises behind this science aren't nearly as watertight as evolution. Why aren't people complaining about the propsed existence of messons? There is far less evidence than there is for evolution.
IMHO, it's because particle physics doesn't directly challenge people's belief systems. Evolutionists come along and say, 'Hey you creationists over there. You got it all wrong. Quit believing some omnipotent being created us.' Challenge a person's core beliefs and you are in for a serioius fight.
