I would argue with you on your point that Biblical literalism is falsifiable. God could have done it exactly as stated in Genesis and arranged all of the physical evidence the way it is at that time. This is an unfalsifiable notion and is thus unscientific. When an omnipotent being is an integral part of an idea, that idea can never be falsified.
Every proposition contains an assumption (Goeddel's theorem). We either assume that the bible is historical or we make all the assuptions in TOE or some sort of hybrid, but we all make assumptions.
