But again, what's written in the bible is just the claim, not the proof. It's just a book. I could say that I believe that everything in the book The Grapes of Wrath literally happened, and when you ask me for evidence that Tom Joad existed I point to the book as evidence.
That's where the special pleading comes in. It isn't just a book, it's THE book! Why? Because the assholes say so.
