What I meant was the bible as a source can be viewed as biased because it's trying to present the existence of Adam and Eve in the first place. Or lacking because there aren't additional sources outside it that can be used. You'll notice in many debates that people attach multiple sources to their argument because at times one source isn't enough. Even people who follow the news will look at multiple news medias to be certain of a story's credibility.
Thanks for the clarification.
If the bible is not 'good enough' then why use it as a single source to point out the inconsistancy between evolution and creation in the first place?
Your arguement did not consider the bible as being an illegitmate source till you had exhausted all other avenues to defend your position. prior to this the bible was considered a valid source to disproove the legitmacy of creation. When the same bible was used to assimilate evolution into the creation account, then magically the bible lost all legitmacy.
If you can't or don't want to discuss this anymore then know we do not have to, but know you can't have your cake and eat it too. If you are going to use the bible to 'disproove' God/Christianity then know it then by your use of it becomes a viable source to refute your bible based claims.
