No. the fact that the dictionary (in this case the OED) states that “surely” can mean “With … assurance, or confidence” as an alternative to “With certainty” makes it so!
I’m sorry that your understanding of the English language is inadequate, but that is really not my problem.
No. you are again quoting me out of context – making the same misrepresentation of my comments that you made " from the beginning, nearly 90 posts back". The same sort of misrepresentation that Behe and the rest of the DI make, that makes people say that they have no integrity. Thank you for proving our point.
What I in fact wrote was:

Only a bare possibility, the same as the bare possibility that you might be an alien lizard-person.
Lacking any evidence in support of either bare possibility, I can with confidence (“surely”) assign them to the same wastebin as the bare possibility of the existence of Russell’s teapot.
Is it a substantive possibility that you are “an alien lizard-person”? No.
Is it a substantive possibility that Russell’s teapot exists somewhere in space? No.
Is it a substantive possibility that the disagreements were due to genuine insights of Behe’s or Meyer’s? Hell no!

I copied and pasted it. That’s how it showed up. I don’t know how to change it.
I shouldn’t be surprised by the profound lack of curiosity on the part of ID’s supporters, when it’s the same lack of curiosity that is one of the reasons that makes genuine insights very unlikely from ID Apologists.
For your information, when you copy and paste a quote that ends up with a # symbol being pasted, you wind up with:

… and if you delete the # symbol before posting, you end up with:

All it takes is a tiny bit of curiosity about your (in this case virtual) environment. But I suppose that this presence or absence of curiosity is a difference between the scientific mind and the apologetic mind.

… surely doesn’t mean surely.
Surely does mean “surely” (trivially) – but “surely” can mean other things than “with (absolute) certainty”.
