Dogmatism entails asserting as fact that which cannot be proven. As such mathematical statements regarding geometry do not qualify.

Correct. And neither do statements of definition such as "science does not address the existence or nonexistence of supernatural entities".

"science does not address the existence or nonexistence of supernatural entities".

That ain't what the judge says. He says science cannot entertain any notion of a higher intelligence, and thus makes a statement on behalf of science that not even good science should make. He's a dogmatist, but doesn't know it or admit it.
