"BS. I have objective evidence that you exist right before my eyes. It is self-evident, and it does not have to be "tested" first to be objective."

Self-evident *evidence* is by definition not objective. Objective evidence need to be tested.

" I have never believed subjectivity to be the "basis of all knowledge."

I stand corrected. You did say it was the basis for your belief in ID.

Keep digging!

No I did not. Subjectivity is not a "basis." Nor does it enhance or establish objectivity. It is simply a characteristic of being a human observer. It also happens to attend your scientific belief in evolution.
