Plus - I have seen the real Santa Claus in a movie - which is as good evidence as your book and even more convincing.
However, if you didn't like the example, here is another one:
The Holy Bible is true. There is no mention of viral infection.
So viral infection does not exist.
Which every grown up already knows because demons cause illness.
And before you say we can see viruses remember that there is no mention in the bible of the scanning electron microscope either.
The bad analogy argument does not defeat Pascal's argument at all.
You are getting your threads confused. This isn't the Pascal thread so, not unreasonably, I wasn't aiming at the Pascal argument here.
It does, however, defeat your "Bible is correct" nonsense. The Bible ascribes infectious disease to demonic possession. We now know that to be incorrect and the cause is usually either bacterial or viral infection.
