A method for generating sound propositions to be used in strong inferences.  

Steve, you can;t shoot holes in the theory.  It's beyond you.  Try to find a way to square your god beliefs away with reality, it's the least you can do.  Hell, do it for jesus. You weren't magic'd into existence. Life does share a common ancestor. There's no one yanking levers and pulling the genetic strings.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

I'm guessing you don't know what inference means:

in·fer·ence
ˈinf(ə)rəns/Submit
noun
a conclusion reached on the basis of evidence and reasoning.

I thought it was what made static on the radio.

What contains more disorder:

The Old Man and the Sea

 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

I am not trying to shoot holes in it. Only point out that the end-to-end theory has significant philosophical moorings, which, when properly understood does not support mocking people who don't accept an end-to-end theory of evolution as scientific fact.

If you don't like getting mocked, Steve, stop saying stupid things and making vapid arguments. That has jack shit to do with evolution or scientific facts, or the philosophical moorings of any given theory..that's entirely your own problem, and you can solve it any time you like.

You're pleading, here, to be mollycoddled when it comes to evolutionary biology. Let me ask you a question. What would be more disrespectful, and less helpful. Granting the request, or denying it?
