The important point about the standard evolutionary story is that the human species and all of its features are the wholly physical outcome of a purely physical process If this is the correct account of origins, then there seems neither need, nor room, to fit any nonphysical substances or properties into our theoretical account of ourselves. We are creatures of matter. And we should learn to live with that fact.

But the question, Has Darwin Become Dogma?, is to me more of a; Can Darwinism become dogma? Why does Darwinism become dogma while other aspects of science dont? Why does neo-darwinism need to rule out any intelligence and design in regard to mankind and science?
And for the people who think Darwinism cannot become dogma:

you asked: why does Darwinism become dogma.......?"
The answer becomes obvious when we identify the politically powerful and influential ideologues for whom "godless" Darwinism serves as the 'force de jeur' against God of the Bible. These ideologues are Secular Humanists {Dawkins, for instance is a signatore of the Humanist Manifesto}and neo-Marxist socialists. These people virtually comprise the entirety of the Dem. Party, Hollywood, the ACLU, PFAW, George Soros, academia, mainstream media, the NEA, AFT, activist judges, radical homosexual organizations, PlannedParenthood, NARAL, pop culture entertainent {Disney's Epcott Center showcases/teaches the godless human secularist worldview}.
The over-arching worldview of the preceding ideologues is neo-pagan/socialism.
