The Irrational Nature Of Atheism - An Explanation Of God, Gods And Goddesses

Then you're making an even worse argument. A book about God can't be used to prove God? That's like saying you can't use a math book to prove math, or you can't use a genetics textbook to prove evolution.

That is, actually, correct. No one uses a math textbook to prove math r a genetics textbook to prove evolution - they use it to learn about those subjects, once they are proven independently.

Now, you can't say, "The Bible says God exists, so therefore God exists", because then you're assuming the Bible is true, which isn't a valid assumption in this setting. But suppose that the Bible actually contained a fantastic, valid, completely true and convincing argument that God existed. Would you reject this argument merely because it is located in the pages of the Bible?

The question is moot because the bible does not contain such a "fantastic, valid, completely true and convincing argument".
