Re: testing the past
There are all kinds of strange prejudices I see at EvC against the Flood idea completely apart from the supposed scientific reasons to rule it out.
To me, born and raised in Australia, the idea of a relatively recent global flood is a non-starter. The geographic distribution of biological species is incompatible with a global flood. I'm thinking of kangaroos and koalas in Australia; opossums and sloths in the Americas; pandas in china; the differences between old world monkeys and new world monkeys.

Re: Ranking of explanations
In the case of geology and evolution, we do have other evidence, and it is better evidence than you ever can get with eye witnesses.
