What about god he clearly lacks observable proof, so does everything in the bible lacks observable proof, how do you know that Jesus existed you only have a book that tells you that he did how observable is that?
Well I am not a complete empiricist. I believe that a lot of truth claims need to be observed, like the conclusions we are talking about here (the age of strata). Other truth claims do not need to be directly observed. People did directly observe Christ, it's a pretty fringe position to believe that Jesus of Nazareth never existed. As for God, He does not lack observable proof at all, creation is clear proof of a creator God, and every person has knowledge of God, many just suppress it in their hearts (Romans 1).

To me that's hypocrisy, and creation is not clear proof of a divine creator, the universe itself can only ultimately prove that it exists, and if you're not told about god you don't know about god, also the heart can only supress and release blood, the heart has nothing to do with emotion.
