I am not ignorant of the scientific method, and acutely aware of the fact that the scientific method cannot be applied to the ToE as it relates to mammals evolving from non-mammals, or even to eukaryotic cells evolving from prokaryotic cells.

Science can document mammals evolving from non-mammals in the fossil record and in genetic studies. However, your objection is based on ignorance. Species, genus, family etc. are artificial constructs created by taxonomists to help in understanding how different living things are related. "Species" do not exist in nature. Whales and dolphins mate to produce wholphins. Tigers and lions mate to make ligers. Look at the Platypus if you want to see an intermediate form on the reptile-mammal part of the DNA/ life continuum

Using the scientific method? I call BS.

However, your objection is based on ignorance.

Sure, keep telling everyone who disagrees with you that they are ignorant and hope that they believe it. You have yet to offer a shred of proof.
