EvF, you're coming at this from an entirely incorrect angle and embarrassing yourself here.
I can lose a debate when my position is "Richard Dawkins is a human being." Like everyone else has already said, it's not about universal truth and scientific evidence. It's about logical support and valid arguments.
"Dawkins is a human being because he wears a suit." - I'd be hard pressed to find someone who would contest my position, but logically, it's easy to see that my argument is invalid. One might say I have not sufficiently supported my position and thus lost any logical debate I might be engaged in.
You should do some research.
