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.

You, saying I am backing into fake observations? That’s rich, given all the demonstrably false statements you have made on this thread.
