Your second sentence makes no sense. I presume you're asking the old clichéd question about how one chooses one set of directions over another. This rich source if evidence all focuses on the same subject. Some is weak and some is unbreakably (so far) strong. We would have to gravitate toward the best answer or suffer cognitive dissonance. That's why I choose the bible as my source.
This is pure bs unless you gave every other holy book an *equal chance*. Did the Qu'ran not do it for you? How about the Vedas - did it not live up to its claims?
