“Are you saying Darwinists say, “I know it, and that’s that” or are you saying Creationists say that. Darwinist know for certain that everything happened the way they say, and if you disagree your called ignorant of science.”
—To find absolute certainty and self assurance, it’s best to go to Creationists. Even Darwinists like Dawkins and Gould have room for doubt.
“Moreover, “fact” doesn’t mean “absolute certainty”; there ain’t no such animal in an exciting and complex world. The final proofs of logic and mathematics flow deductively from stated premises and achieve certainty only because they are not about the empirical world. Evolutionists make no claim for perpetual truth, though creationists often do (and then attack us falsely for a style of argument that they themselves favor). In science “fact” can only mean “confirmed to such a degree that it would be perverse to withhold provisional consent.”” Gould
Darwin may be triumphant at the end of the twentieth century, but we must acknowledge the possibility that new facts may come to light which will force our successors of the twenty-first century to abandon Darwinism or modify it beyond recognition. -Dawkins

You are sympathetic at best to Darwinism and delusional at worst. You paint a picture that is much too bright and cheery then the average Darwinists. Most would never accept Biblical Creationism under any circumstance. They are far from open minded in their beliefs.
"Evolutionists make no claim for perpetual truth, though creationists often do"
This is completely false. If anyone questions evolution in anyway academically they are mocked as Luddites, science ignorant, uneducated, or called a lunatic. You live in a dream world if you think Darwinists are open minded.

Really Mr. Dawkins? What if the scientific evidence shows that the Bible is right, the earth is too young to allow for vast evolutions, and all species did not evolve from one? What if the evidence shows that human simply were always humans and never evolved from any other species or living thing? Would you embrace it? I seriously doubt it.
