It is futile to argue with one who confuses reasonable conjecture and immutable fact; who is unwilling even to concede a distinction between the two; who equates the philosophy of evolution with empirical science.

This argument really goes beyond the truth of evolution; it is about the nature of science and its relationship to religion. For the dogmatic evolutionist his theory has become a way to assert independence from the necessity of belief in God. It has become the root of his belief system and thus must be made unquestionable. To reduce natural evolution to something less than a scientific fact is to reduce his whole world view to something that is only possible rather than absolute truth. We therefore have the sad result of naturalists resorting to dogmatism to defeat what they believe to be the dogmatism of religion.
