But it's unfortunate when we create dogma in areas where there is such uncertainty.

For that was Darwin's problem: to establish the plausibility of the very idea of evolution, Darwin felt that he had to undermine the older (and ultimately
biblically based) doctrine of species fixity. Stasis, to Darwin, was an ugly inconvenience."
If we study genetics, we see stasis. If we believe Darwin, we can't have species replicated the same way again and again with DNA.
There is gnashing of teeth by evolutionists when we say man did not evolve from unclean beasts or apes.
