    Here, I did it for you:



    It's not dogmatic in the slightest.

    For definition of dogmatic:
    - Stubbornly adhering to insufficiently proven beliefs; inflexible, rigid
    - a religious doctrine that is proclaimed as true without proof
    nothing that you find there provides evidence that this method is more valid then any other.

    one thing i would like to point out though, is that this definition of dogmatic is a scientific definition since the proof that is being referred to is scientific proof. if you would bother to read thomas of aquino (which i wouldnt recommend because it bloody hard to read XD) or read about his work (which i think is more preferable) you would see that religion does offer proof to back their position. only the proof is not scientific and therefor no longer regarded as proof in this era.

    i say dogmatic because you offer me nothing but your word that it is valid and that of wikipedia, and i have to believe you because it speaks for itself. for me that is insufficient.

    wikipedia does a good job explaining me what the method is, and i will not dispute that, yet it does not offer any proof or argument of why this method is the most valid one or maybe even the only valid one. i dont think it intends to, but that doesnt make a difference in this case.
