I was thinking of the type where the ToE would say....
Event A happened, then event B, then C, then D......
Where the CHANCES of A happening are W, (or DID happen)
B happening is X,
C is Y,
D=Z and so forth.
The links I give examples where scientists do just that, but not in such a simple way...
In the case of radiometric dating, for example, several different isotopic dates are compared - they are then compared to give a statistical distribution of dates with a certain standard deviation - if the deviation is small enough, it can be said that a date is found within a good certainty (i.e. percentage error). If the dates don't converge upon a good certainty, the data can be said to not be good, and no certainty can be reached. What is never found, though, are out-of-sequence radiological dates that converge within a particular certainty showing a 1 million-year-old stratus containing a Mesozoic fossil, for example.
Examples abound, but one has to read the details of the research carefully to glean the nitty-gritty out of it.
