That list of apologetics starts with a big giant fail. The very first thing that they wish to assert, is that critics have the burden of proof. Sure, if the people in question hadn't originally asserted the bible to be the word of god, and his existence self evident....that would be the case. In the real world..however...........
You know it's impressive. A certain type of theist demands iron-clad proof that their particular ideology is not factual, asserts that there can be no such proof, and then allows it's followers leeway with interpretation to truth....all the while demanding that the absolute truth be recognized within their doctrine. As if to say, "You can know nothing if you are not absolutely precise, our knowledge can be amended, our understanding can be refined, we do not need to know everything. We DO, however know everything, and demand that this self evident truth be given respect".
