I’m sorry, you are lecturing from a point of demonstrated ignorance. Every time I rebut one of your points, you just create another nonsensical point. Now you are clamoring about settled science - which involves theories, not observations. Geological formations have been extensively mapped in the field, and correlated over time and extent, so your attempting to hold contrary positions to observations made over decades is just a will to hold on to your position in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary of that position.

Observations are used to create models. You can observe strata, but as soon as you start defining how they came to be you are creating a model. At that point it’s no longer an observation because you did not observe the deposition of the layers.

Newton could observe falling objects, but as soon as he devised laws of motion, he was creating a model. And that model was both very useful and wrong. It took a few hundred years for Einstein to improve that model and make it more useful, but in all likelihood still wrong in ways we can’t currently fathom.

We can’t even agree on observations because you keep backing into fake observations based on your flawed model.
