They, as usual, refuse to infer that there was a more transitional form slightly prior to the one we find.

We infer nothing unfound or unfounded. That's the point.

I will take on an "unprovable" premise if Scripture demands it and I admit it. TOE demands the acceptance of certain premises without any divine involvement. Who is more gullible?

Then you are going to have some difficulty living your life, as you can't even infer from your own certain knowledge that the rest of the universe outside the room that you are currently in didn't just stop existing. So you had better stay where you are in case there is no oxygen anywhere else. Nobody is that nihilistic. You don't demand such standards of proof anywhere else in your life.

What you really mean is that you believe that evolution contradicts your interpretation of your holy book and therefore you reject it regardless of the evidence for it, which can never be so complete as to force acceptance if you are set upon rejection.
