Furthermore, how in the hell can I know what difference your evidence will make without knowing what the evidence is? If you pull out a Bible verse that says "And then the Lord said 'The Lord your God has endowed you with certain inalienable rights, among which are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness'" or some close variation on that theme, I have no recourse but to concede the point that those rights are inspired by Christian scripture (though, of course, I can point out how the Bible is, to put it generously, extremely inconsistent about how inalienable those rights are). If those specific rights are not enumerated in the Bible, I have every right to dispute the allegation that those inalienable rights are inspired by Christian scripture.
I'm betting that bible verse isnt real and the only way to make it say that is to take some vaguely worded verse and twist it like a snake until it says what you wanted to say, context be damned.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
