The funny thing is that the evolution episodes only bug me because I know a thing or two about the subject matter. On the other hand, Star Trek writers can make up some bullshit about gamma rays and photons, and since I don't know all that much about particle physics and cosmology beyond the basic high school stuff and the watered down popular science mags, my suspension of disbelief is not as easily shattered (ie. I can't spot the BS as easily). I'm sure Richard Feynman would be spinning in his grave, though.
Or maybe Richard Feynman is simultaneously in a state of spinning in his grave and not spinning in his grave, and we have to dig him up in order to collapse the wave function.
