But I thought that science should not be taught as dogma. That's what's happening here

If visitors challenge the presentations, the explainers are instructed to listen "and then explain the science and the evidence."

How is that dogma?

I don't see the conflict. It is after all a museum and natural history should be expected. I don't expect a natural history lesson from a church.

The more these people engage in these antics, the less appealing the concept of "Intelligent Design" becomes to the average American.

Thank God.

Since the "evidence" for evolution is highly problematical, to simply "explain" what is unsettled is rather difficult.

80% of the "science" involved in Evolution theory is bunk: This consensus science trend IS dogma.

Why is there so much tolerance of this wanton destruction of the reputation of the field of science? There was a time when a successful challenge of a scientific observation or conclusion was all it took to send everyone back to the labs. These days, if even 55% say "It sounds reasonable", then any attempt to debunk the results is shut down by the loud majority.

Scientific progress is being undermined by majority rulesitis!
