The bible makes claims, it does not provide evidence.

Here we go yet again; evidence is NOT a synonym for proof,merely ANYTHING provided in support of a claim.

Citing the bible IS evidence. What it is not is CREDIBLE evidence or proof.

Drip the the apologist insists on citing the bible because that is safe and comforting. To face the inherent problems in his personal superstitions is far too threatening.

Evidence in its broadest sense includes everything that is used to determine or demonstrate the truth of an assertion. Giving or procuring evidence is the process of using those things that are either (a) presumed to be true, or (b) were themselves proven via evidence, to demonstrate an assertion's truth. Evidence is the currency by which one fulfills the burden of proof.

You seriously believe this?

Does this mean my citing the movie Avatar is evidence there is a planet Pandora? Does citing Harry Potter books give evidence that there really is a Archie Aymslowe? Does my citing the Michael Chrichton book Jurassic Park provide evidence that there really was a John Hammond?

Seriously? Did you think this belief through?
