"A case could be made in support of evolutionary theory as an inference to the best explanation, no matter what the fossil record looked like."

Not in support of Darwinian Evolution. ID, on the other hand, as it has no constraints whatsoever on it's causative agent (the alleged intelligent designer), would be able to handle any and every sequence of fossils imaginable. No matter what.

I agree. But evolutionary theory is broader than Darwinism. In other words, a rejection of Darwinism would not ipso facto be a rejection of evolutionary theory.

I agree.
