That’s right humans can only examine the natural world. Now you can stop thinking some other humans know something more.
Since you like evidence and facts, how can you draw accurate conclusions without all the facts? Do you know everything knowable? Maybe God exists in where you have yet to explore.
Obviously he does not know everything knowable, believes people cannot know things he does not, while reading what scientists say because he wants to learn what they know. So he is full of contradictions, and expresses his opinion while wanting us to believes he has provided evidence when he has not. In other words, we have a very confused individual in our midst.
The fossil record isn’t an opinion. It’s evidence when certain life existed and died.
You did not provide any fossil record. You simply stated your opinion regarding it. Your opinion is not evidence of the fossil record.
I stated a fact. Life existed and died before humans come on the scene. The fossil record shows this.
The fossil record is not my opinion. It’s evidence when certain life existed and died. Humans come later in the record.
There's an important adjunct to the fossil record that you have not mentioned, but which is absolutely critical to its use as evidence for anything: a timeline. Fossils don't come with a timeline; all they show is that creatures that once existed are now dead, and their remains preserved in rocks.
By the comments you've made, it appears that you assume the timeline offered by secular scientists. That timeline is rooted in the exclusion of any possible divine intervention. That's not science; it's bias.
You did not provide the fossil record. Your lack of intelligence is rather telling if you
equate your opinion regarding the fossil record with evidence of the fossil record.
You present logical fallacies but probably think you are more logical than believers.
So typical.

“Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:”
Romans 5:12 KJV
No, it is evidence that formerly-living creatures are now dead, and (based on the law of superposition) that certain individuals died before other individuals.
You are taking an ounce of evidence and making a ton of assertions, with the difference being made up by assumptions.
“all they show is that creatures that once existed are now dead” Which shows death existed before humans.
Not a assumed timeline. That’s why you won’t find humans in the early record. You will however find death existed before humans as the fossil record shows creatures that died before humans.
The fossil record may indeed tell us that certain individual creatures died before certain individual humans... but it can't tell you more than that. Assertions beyond that require assumptions.
Bear in mind that the conditions for fossilization are very specific... and rare in the natural world.
Yes, many Christians don't believe that God created the cosmos in literal 6 days, but here's your answer right here:
Nothing relevant to my post
The only relationship your having is with fallible humans, that are dead. Who didn’t even know death existed before humans.
