Global Deluge ~4,000 Years Ago
Empirically FalsifiedAsserts that a singular hydrodynamic cataclysm deposited Earth's fossil-bearing geological strata, exterminating all terrestrial life outside a vessel approximately 4,000–4,500 years before present.
Stratigraphic Cross-Section Inspector
Depth: 1,200mScrub depth to test sedimentary ordering. A single catastrophic surge yields chaotic hydrologic sorting; real stratigraphy shows undisturbed delicate trackways, fossil succession, and paleosols.
Radiometric & Continuous Varve Concordance
GISP2 Ice: 110,000+ yrsDecay constants are rooted in physical nuclear constants. Cross-dating Potassium-Argon, Uranium-Lead, and C-14 with annual ice varves proves continuous time far past biblical limits.

Epistemic Demarcation & Null Hypothesis Evaluation
How modern empirical science handles assertions without requiring a universal negative proof
No unmixed modern human skeletons in Cambrian strata.
Natural uniform physical processes fully account for observed geology.
"Claims made without evidence can be dismissed without evidence."
Historically, when physical mechanisms were unmapped, human cultures ascribed direct divine action. As empirical tools advanced, physical laws completely superseded theological hypotheses without creating a vacuum.
