I am asserting using the Bible for proof will not work to explain observable facts to someone who does not accept a literal interpertation of the Bible.
I am not asserting that I do or do not accept the Bible is the Word Of God. I am only trying to demonstrate that it is part of a Belief system.
It is an extreme Act of Faith to accept the Bible as the direct and infallable Word Of God, totally free of “typos”.
Just as it is an extreme Act of Faith to accept Global Warming or Evolution as proposed by Darwin, or Gould, etc.
I respect your position.
God existence is not predicated upon our belief or acceptance.
The Bible is an extremely well document book with original writings available for verification. Everything in it has multiple sources except for 3 sentences.
So belief in the Bible as being accurate is not “extreme”. For example there is more documentation of Christs actual existence, activities, and actual death then there is of Plato’s existence.
