"Indirect observation has its place, too, but every step removed from the present moment and direct observation places one further away from certitude."

Just like the Bible :)

"Fairly well decribes evolutionism, which not only lacks a theory, but refuses to recognize or acknowledge its starting assumptions."

This isn't even a good joke. It neither lacks a theory nor hides it's starting assumptions (naturalistic regularity of the laws of nature.... the staring point of EVERY science).
Keep chugging those beers!

naturalistic regularity of the laws of nature.... the starting point of EVERY science

Regularity is not the friend of those who espouse anything but an intelligent agent for its existence. Come to think about it, that might explain the constipated ramblings of evolutionism.
