You have the floor.

Statement one - I contend that Darwinism is also non-falsifiable. (a contention that includes the word contend)

Statement two - Any evidence contrary to the dogma will be marginalized and ridiculed. (another contention which does not include the word contend).

"Any evidence contrary to the dogma will be marginalized and ridiculed."

If there exists evidence that is contrary to what the ToE says then it can't be unfalsifiable, by definition.

Your second statement did not include the word contend. Agreed.

Dogma: a religious doctrine that is proclaimed as true without evidence.

So, while you are at it, I guess you better prove that evolution is a religion.

Here are some definitions of religion for you to consider in formulating your answer:

Religion: Theistic: 1. the belief in a superhuman controlling power, esp. in a personal God or gods entitled to obedience and worship. 2. the expression of this in worship. 3. a particular system of faith and worship.

Religion: Non-Theistic: The word religion has many definitions, all of which can embrace sacred lore and wisdom and knowledge of God or gods, souls and spirits. Religion deals with the spirit in relation to itself, the universe and other life. Essentially, religion is belief in spiritual beings. As it relates to the world, religion is a system of beliefs and practices by means of which a group of people struggles with the ultimate problems of human life.
