Quote:When science and scientists say "The debate is over..." it stops being science, and starts being Dogma.
A capital "D" Dogma. Wow.
There is certainly room for debate about many aspects of both evolutionary biology and about climate science. But about the basic framework? There is, in each case, a great mountain of evidence standing between anyone and overturning it. No serious scientist would claim that such a change can't happen, now and forever. But I think it is beyond reasonable at this point to say that, as far as sciences ever know things, this debate has come down solidly on the reality of evolution in biology. Climate change in climate science is slightly more contentious, but not by a whole lot. Scientists differ as to the scope, timeline, and effects of the change, but anthropogenic change itself? That's about as widely accepted as it's going to get.
The debate is also over on gravity being a property of mass. Is that also "dogma"?
Now, intelligent design? That's dogma.
