An unproven or unprovable claim is dogmatic by definition. That does not mean it is false - whether we are speaking of the fossil record or dismissals of the same.
IMHO, the substantive difficulty on evolution threads is credibility. What constitutes proof to one correspondent, may fail as proof to another. That is not a reflection of moral character but of one's worldview.
For instance, an atheist may not accept Scriptural proofs, and a Young Earth Creationist may not accept geological/radiological proofs.
Which brings me back to my first point, hundreds of posts ago, that it serves no useful purpose to engage a theological argument with science or vice versa. It only causes heat, no light at all - because among believers, Truth always trumps facts and among non-believers, facts are supreme.
IMHO, the best progress is made when the game is kept within a defined ballpark - either theology or science.
Then you will have to retract your "fossil record" statements.
