And there is another set of people who regard it as "an irrefutable fact, never to be challenged because science says so."

Perhaps a quote from one of these people to illustrate your point?

I'd like to see one of those quotes as well.

It's one of the charges frequently tossed out by creationists, but they rarely follow up with anything resembling evidence.

Here's one. Can't remember which thread, but it was posted more than once. "Common ancestry is a fact."

BTW, I leave open the possibility for that phenomenon. But I also don't think it is small-minded to conclude that something else has put this all in motion. Paint me with a "creationist" brush if you want, but I find it just as dogmatic to shut down that notion without admitting it takes just as much faith to do so as those who don't.
