The first [lie] is that there is such a thing as "Darwin dogma".

Read my lips, Pete old chap. Evolution is true.

OK, Slimetrail, I see you're going back to twathood. What a shame after your recent reasonable behaviour. Now evolution is indeed true in its main tenets. It will never be be overthrown in that regard, and you know it (well, unless you're a closet God-squadding creationist, something I have occasionally suspected about you, actually). We have long since gone past the point at which the general principle of natural selection can be questioned. Nuts and bolts, deliciously yes, and don't you just relish all the hard science still to come, but overall thrust, never. Why? because it's true. It isn't true because I say so (dogma) - it's true because the evidence and the corroboration from related fields of biology is so overwhelming that no-one with any credibility at all is ever going to try to deny it. Now you can swivel around all you like, agonising as to whether the word "true" should ever be used for anything (maybe the word scares you), but I'm using it here and now. Evolution in its main tenets is truer than true. And, slug-with-shell, do you know something? Richard Dawkins, a far greater evolutionary biologist than you or I could ever hope to be, a man who will tell you that he can't be certain that God doesn't exist, says that evolution is true. So why don't you just bugger off, stop being so stultifyingly annoying and go and look stuff up. I did.
