"But I do question my capacities as an observer."

Ok.

"You and your evo buddies have it all figured out, and apparently remain convinced in your own minds that you are wholly without biases that would color your interpretation of the evidence."

No, but as I live in a world where I need to make decisions based on imperfect data, I look for methods that will give me the best chance of making the correct decision. That method is science.

" I have been taught to despise tyranny of all kinds, and that includes the intellectual tyranny of evolutionary dogma."

Science is not tyranny. Subjective/post-modernism will lead to tyranny though.
