==My greatest objection is to dogmatists of all stripes.
Doesn’t that make you dogmatic on dogmatism?

True.
There was some exaggeration in my words. I was trying to express a general tendency. However, it isn't the case that everything is uncertain. It isn't the case that nothing is reasonably known.
Many of the topics (evolution, age of the earth) that you have posted have garnered a range of opinions from individuals who seem reasonable and intelligent. This applies to both the science and the religion. I think that I am reasonably familiar with the evolution debate. I've concluded that evolution "dogma" is not warranted by the evidence.
Some posters are too strident for my taste. Often their "evidence," scientific or scriptural, is more conclusive to them than it is to me. They are the ones who prompted my comment about dogmatism.
