>>Since the TOE can’t even be tested and observed under controlled conditions, it doesn’t even qualify as a Theory. It’s an idea — just like Intelligent Design is an idea.<<
Again, you are using a layperson’s definition of a “theory.” Learn a little and then try again. As far as testing and the like, you are 100% wrong. Unless you want to say that Geology is just an idea.
ID meets zero criteria for a Scientific Theory. TToE meets all.
Show me the test that will demonstrate one species evolving into another. There isn’t one. Adaptation can be shown but not speciation.
Or how about this one: based on genetic manipulation, show the minimum amount of change required for one fossil to be a mutation of another. It can’t be done; maybe sometime in the future but certainly now now. That’s why the whole thing is not even a theory, it’s just a convenient idea for scientists who favor naturalism as a worldview.
You can continue your Al Gore-like appeal to authority, but it’s impossible to insist that it can be known how events took place based on the evidence that’s available in the fossil record.
