So here's what you do. You reword that to:
"And i have evidence of order
Its not simply a matter of ngised. Ngised is the conclusion, ..."
You use a new word (it is actually "design" spelled backwards, but that doesn't matter.
So you have come up with a way of identifying a new property ngised. So now you must set about demonstrating that, using this newly found property, you can make better predictions than can be made by people who don't work with this property.
If you can make clearly better predictions, then people will begin to take you seriously. If you cannot make better predictions, you will be ignored.

If Iam standing in front of an individual and I watch him kick a football ball, in person, I dont need to conduct tests to see if that is what happened. It is proof positve that it did happen, if it happened only to myself
Okay. So you are standing in front of a person, and you see him kick the football through the goal posts.
If the referees say it did not happen, and if the instant replay says that it did not happen, then it did not happen.

My summary
This thread perhaps achieves a dubious record.
It appears to have more words, but less content, than just about any other thread at this site. Maybe we need a "word salad" award
