Dogma: a religious doctrine that is proclaimed as true without proof

How would this statement qualify under the above definition: "In order for science to be science, it cannot, and must not, entertain any notions about the supernatural, or God."

Well, at least you are reading the definitions for a change.

Maybe some day you will actually accept the notion that science gets to establish its own methods, one part of which is its definitions.

You can't get anywhere in a rational discussion when words are used as rubber bands and twisted all out of shape at a whim, or in order to fudge a point.
