In this case I have to ask, do we really know a correlating time frame for the 4th sun of the Aztecs?

There are definitely mass extinction events in the fossil record like the giant mammals here in N. America.

I'm not saying I disagree, but someone could probably make a similar argument for gravity, for example.

How to disprove a god: a lesson in logic.
So, when a person says "there is a god" there is no way we can disprove that, there is no way we can prove that, and the claim holds no weight because it's an infallible claim.
This single action is one of Religions greatest downfalls, because nearly all religions give attributes to the god(s) they worship.

I fully agree that religion is false, but I personally am of the belief they were wrong and it was a recounting of the same world flood myth shared by other cultures.
I like the 'If god was omnipotent, could it create a stone too heavy for it to lift?' but that only really stumps the Abrahamic religions.

Here's a lesson in logic;
It is not possible to 'prove' that some'thing' doesn't exist, because everything exists!
That is why it has been historically impossible to prove the non-existence of some'thing'!
Despite your.... 'creative logic', the 'fact' remains!

Ever give any thought to what the term 'Omni-' actually means?

Everything is Truth!
Existence/Reality/Truth is all inclusive!
'One'!
That which is perceived exists!
That which exists is perceived!
Not a thing exists that is not perceived!
Not a thing is perceived that does not exist!
(There is no, nor can there be, any evidence to the contrary!)
All inclusive!!!

Gravity is an illusion. We believe it exists therefore it does. All that truly exists is energy.

Well I certainly don't claim to be an expert in this field, so I can only go so into depth

...gravity is an interesting concept because, well we can measure the rate at which things fall (~9.81 m/s on Earth), and we know all things fall on Earth, so this must be the outcome of some type of (for lack of a better word) force.

However, we cannot see it, we can not take out a special microscope and zoom in really far to detect gravity, nor can we experience it with any of our senses. But, the math works out nicely if we have it, so we assume that gravity is a thing.

There's a relative isomorphism between these two concepts (gravity and God). Certainly an abstract connection, but using your logic we cannot really take gravity seriously hahaha

Since the end of Glaciation they have risen. If one does not take the timeline offered by Conservative Christianity as to when global floods did occur. It is actually very simple to understand that flood legends are in fact related to the end of the most recent Ice age that was about 14,000 years ago.

In general people do stay close to water and in such a case many would have died because of that tendency. Flood myths in general suggest that the flood event was a violent one. In which case it is conceivable that when the last ice age ended it was a violent event.
