" You post a snarky comment to me right off the bat, assuming that I am stupid and believe that theories and speculation are one and the same, even though I later used the word “or” between “theories” and “speculation”, which any educated person would understand the writer is showing an automatic designation of those words as separate ideas"

You lumped theories with speculation. It's a common creationist mistake. Scientific theories are nothing like speculation. Your lawyerly attempt to back out of it is not convincing.

" And, finally, you post yet more snarky comments:"

Then only thing snarky in your list was my questioning your science education. The rest were dry statements of fact. Which you have ignored.

" I didn’t state any specific "idea" when I mentioned the Scientific Method, only that credible science must use the scientific method. I stated that MUCH of the theories/speculation cannot be proven using the scientific method"

The last sentence is not an idea? Horse manure. BTW, you just lumped theory with speculation again.

" All scientists are not in consensus on all things evolution and it is disingenuous for you to claim otherwise."

It's disingenuous of you to say I made any such claim.

"You have been rude and obnoxious from your FIRST post; and that is also disingenous for you to begin to claim otherwise."

Nonsense. The one thing in my first post to you that was in any way snarky was when I said, "You need to brush up on your science education." If that is too rough for your tender ego, than I suggest you refrain from making specific statements here you refuse to back up.

A lawyerly attempt when I intentionally used a slash mark and the word or? Now you have the ability to read minds and know intent? You're a joke.
