Theological doctines of creation are objectively dogma, and I'll challenge you to show me any authoritative source that says otherwise.
By the very definition of the word, I agree, all creation stories are to be viewed as dogma. That is, there is no tangible, substantive, present-day evidence to validate any one of them. Ergo, each has to be taken "on faith" by its subscribers. Therefore, and by extension, when the ToE is used to explain the "origins" of species, or anything else, it trespasses into the realm of dogma. Adaptation is science ... natural selection is science ... macro-evolution is dogma and the consensus is growing.

Are you submitting the it should not be allowed to, and how do you propose to stop it?
