Since this has become an attempt to kick at a moving goal, we can just agree to disagree...

You can just keep making your points by adhominum and us readers can filter using our own definitions.

I'm sorry that you're unable to stay on topic and have to keep shifting the discussion.

The goal is fixed. TTOE posits than man evolved from lower life forms as a result of a myriad of factors over a very long time. We have direct evidence showing points along the way. This is a "theory" because of the evidence which has been scientifically evaluated. The details of the theory change over time as new scientific evidence comes to light, but the general theory has not changed.

CRIDers believe that faith-based mythology is a substitute for scientific analysis and reasoning and posits that a supernatural force jumped in and magically made everything appear at once (including ancient bones just to fool us). ID is an attempt to say that things changed over time but at certain moments an external supernatural force jumped in and magically filled in the blanks to give evolution a leg up.

Evolution is science based, CRID are mythology based.

There -- goalposts are fixed.
