Please, take a logic course at your local community college. From the sounds of things, its the most true education you would ever have had in your life.

Then count the facts found to be false and then count the facts that have not be found true or found false yet. If the number of facts that have found to be true is 51% or greater, then the Bible has satisfied the principle of preponderance of evidence and should be treated as a verified document, and a reliable witness. Shall we do this? To be fair, I will count the facts found to be true, you count the facts that have been found to false and the facts found to be neither true nor false.

And if we vote 'no', will you then agree that the Bible has not been proven to be true, and is considered, therefore, to be false? Craig On 01/01/2013 02:58 PM, Jojo Jaro wrote: Aha, but there is this concept of "Preponderance of Evidence". While this is a legal concept, we can nevertheless apply its principles in our discussion. Basically, what Preponderance of Evidence says is that if one side can present a preponderance of evidence to support his side, what he is saying may be considered true. If one side can present 51% evidence, his argument may be construed as true. This is the standard of Preponderance of Evidence. While absolute 100% certainty may not be reached, it is acceptable to acknowledge its truth based on the amount of evidence one has supplied. Preponderance of Evidence is a legal standard that a Judge in a civil case may use to decide a case. If it is acceptable in our legal system, I submit to you that it should be acceptable in our discussion. We can apply the standard of Preponderance of Evidence when we evaluate the integrity of the Bible. Has the Bible stated facts that can be proven and does that constitute 51%. If so, the Bible may be considered a verified and reliable source in our legal system. In other words, it is considered a reliable witness. Has the Bible satisfied the Preponderance of Evidence criteria. I submit to you that it has. There are thousands of scientific, historical, archeological, literary, etc facts that can be and has been verified. Based on that, we can not legally say that the Bible is an "unverified" source. By law, it is considered a verified source by virtue of Preponderance of Evidence.

You can in fact verify the Bible. It's very simple. find one, just one fact that has been categorically found to be false. This one erroneous fact alone would sink the entire credibility of the Bible. With regard to epistemology, it's not up to anyone to disprove a source. Rather, it's up to the proponent of an idea to PROVE his assertions. There is nothing to disprove here. You can't take a source and claim that all the wild assertions in it are true, just because you can't find anything wrong with it. I can write a book about life on Pluto, and you won't be able to prove it wrong. Craig
