First, can you give some examples of evidence for ANY historical event that is repeatable, Cato?
I'll wait.
No?
Because history isn't repeatable, is it?
Birth happens.
Death happens.
Behold, this is history which repeats!
Empire rises.
The hubris of power corrupts, resulting in a critical level of incompetence and abuses.
Empire collapses.
Behold again, this is more history which repeats!
Wars happen.
Again, and again, and again, and again. They never happen because different people naturally hate each other enough to kill, they always happen when the ambitious are willing to use a war to make themselves more powerful, and the rich who would benefit from war campaigns become greedy enough. The cycle of greed, ambition, obscene war plundering, megalomania, death, suffering, and finally enough disgust from the public to rein in their warlords is never-ending.
Asshole shits all over his culture with spurious claims that a more powerful entity is motivating him.
Asshole gets his ass handed to him for stinking up the world with no socially redeeming cause.
Asshole insists he still must be right, because his imaginary friend told him he's infallible against those who deny him.
Asshole cannot prove this claim either, so he has children, upon who's undeveloped minds he will impose his mental jism, and...
Behold one more time, this is also history repeating itself!
Gods rise to power over their cultures. For example, Moloch was powerful for thousands of years longer than Jesus.
Gods eventually lose favor in favor of other gods, or better ideas than gods.
Jesus, Allah, and Jehova will eventually die in the minds of the world population, and life will go on.
EDIT: Oh, if the above doesn't address what you had in mind (and I still suspect you are being nothing but a troll which has become much too smug for his face), there is plenty of repeatable evidence which is observed on natural history. Evolutionary differentiation is observed on repeated (ad nauseum) occurrences of fossilized life forms which are either less complex than modern life, or they were fully adapted to fit an environment not like the present.
Mr. Hanky loves you!
