You affirm the Law of Superposition, yet you still state that the Great Flood occured via appealing to the genesis story. How do you feel the Great Flood fits or encompasses your understanding of the Law of Superposition?
Actually and I am particulary curious what you consider workaday science. I feel that your statement of collecting, observing and testing data does not adequately address science. Especially when science is extrememly pervasive in 1st world country lifestyles. For example normal kitchen equipment microwaves, ovens electric and gas, cooking gear, refrigerators, detergents, mechanical physics. While these examples represent applied science, they also represent theories present in theoretical science.
